It means someones brother-in-law, with a printing business, will make out like a bandit on the taxpayers dime. The signs oooh the signs another cash windfall for a legislators relative or supporter. Signs and printing costs will stun you.
Anyone who comes here needs to learn the language. It is one number in the combination for success and inclusion.
The PA legislator needs a lesson in cultural appreciation, causes of social diviseness as well as language and civilization 101.
Tired of activists who claim they represnt a whole class of people. Who does that except racists and extremely prejudicial people.

^^^ This.
Anything that discourages immigrants from learning the primary language of the country they're moving to is doing them a disservice. How are they supposed to integrate into our society when we encourage them to simply set up a pocket of their old one? How can they compete for anything other than menial jobs if they can't communicate in the dominant language? How much strain does it put on schools, students and teachers when classrooms are split between English speaking and non-English speaking students?
I didn't used to care but now, with the influx of people coming to the US from all over the world speeding up, I think it's necessary to set some accepted American standards that people wanting to become citizens must agree to. Starting with language and levels of assimilation. Unbridled multiculturalism isn't possible anymore because there are too many people with too many conflicting ideas. Unless we want to set up separate areas for each group to live in this can't work. And with the trend of forcing all manner of people at all income levels to live amongst each other in peace and harmony well...we need to stop dreaming and start facing facts. Only with a semi-common culture can we do this without constant war. And it all starts with being able to talk to each other.
stop feeding the stray animals or you'll have every Gd one of em in the neighborhood at your door... which is happening to the Chump western world right now... CUT it off.. Nip it in the bud.. whatever, It has got to stop.
