Ok...I'm sure that'll be quite useful

At Burger King?

I think the point being that some with a second language (most always Spanish) are being hired because it is now a requirement due the changing landscape due Illegal Immigrants and their failure to assimilate.

Not really Bilingual people can used for
Sales jobs/Customer Service.
PC Support, Hospitals and etc.
Not all customers speak english clearly. Maybe some people are not comfortable speaking English at certain circumstances.

I went out learned spanish and now make around $1300 a check. Maybe my opinion is bias. Just saying. B itching about it is not helping now and wont in the future.

What skills would those be? Being able communicate with illegal alien borders jumpers here in violation of our immigration laws? Yes, mono-lingual English speakers are being denied jobs because of that.

These fickle employers
You are comparing apples to oranges here. Your list is about having the necessary skills and education for a job. Requiring bi-lingualism to communicate with illegal alien invaders is not the same thing.

Just as useful as me having to learn the language of illegal alien invaders that I will never use.

Right! And all those jobs you listed that require Spanish are to communicate with illegal alien Spanish speakers. There are just as many non-hispanic legal immigrants that do not quite have a grasp on the English language as hispanic ones but it is only the Spanish speaking kind that get pandered to.

You're right b*tching doesn't help but removing as many illegal aliens from our country as possible will.
