It is still a fact though that many jobs are requiring bi-lingual workers aka knowing Spanish. Since we are an English speaking country and most Hispanic-Americans can speak English why is that? It is pandering to illegal alien Spanish speakers at the expense of native English speaker job opportunities, plain and simple.
Please, tell that to the Pols, German, Italian and other minority groups who came here from Europe.
In pockets of Jewish owned areas of the US, where there's stores, markets, and synagogues, tell me the Jewish peoples don't speak Yiddish, Arabic and other languages.
You need to get up to speed in the conversation and the big wide world you live in, yes? Why do you believe other languages are part of the curriculum in high schools?
According to the comments on the photo, the message was put up by a disgruntled employee who actually quit shortly after the incident. Also to be noted, it was only up long enough to snap the photo and then changed almost immediately. It’s not an excuse by any means, but it also isn’t a reason that this business should take heat from the community.
A Burger King in Ephrata, Wash., recently posted the words "Now Hiring Must be Mexican" on its sign.
KFFM.com posted a picture of the sign and asked its readers, "I’m not exactly sure of the reasoning. Maybe none of the current staff can speak espanol or perhaps they need to fulfill their EEO report, I’m not exactly sure. What do you think? Do you find this sign offensive or are you okay with their honesty.”
The sign was posted briefly last summer by an unauthorized employee who was subsequently terminated from a BK franchise. Unless the franchise has > 100 employees it is not required to file an annual EEO Report.
Organizations without government contracts have no hiring quotas.
Years ago there was a woman who wrote the press and her letter was posted in the local NJ paper. She wrote her son applied in a fast food place, could have been a Burger King or Mac D's and said her son was turned away because he was not bilingual. He could not speak Spanish .
Employers are free to advertise and recruit for bilingual employees.
Banks have done so forever and many advertise the variety of languages spoken at a given branch.

I heard that a high school dropout was turned away when they tried to get a job as a brain surgeon. I also heard that it can be almost impossible for a blind person to get a job as a truck driver.
Employers get to determine what job skills they feel are necessary to do the job they have available. If they think it is important that their employees speak Spanish, who are you to tell them otherwise?
I think it's a violation of law, really. It is discrimination against anyone not Mexican. They are opening themselves up to a lawsuit. How much would you bet that it comes? There are many legal defense firms that would be more than happy to take that on.
I believe your right. I think that is in violation of the law, is it not. I think discrimination of any kind against anyone race would be wrong.
And in this case, so very wrong, against any one person not being hispanic.
They deserve a lawsuit. Going to tell me if someone qualified for that job, other then a mexican who was more then deserving, they would not get the job. That is bogus, that is wrong, that is racist. And that is what you call discrimination.
Yeah, maybe. Washington has a lot of agriculture, most of it seasonal. They need people to pick the apples, grapes and those wonderful vidalia onions. Whites wont do it, as it's piece work and they have to work too hard to make a buck. Mexicans will and jump at the chance. Being a farmer with a crop to harvest what would you do?
Clue......Hire the Mexicans and get your product to market.
Break immigration and labor laws and increase your profit AND have their children subsidized by tax payers when they LEACH of welfare and section 8.

Total load of dung. If your margins are that thin your beloved Govt would subsidize your op if it was necessary for the food chain. If you can't hire legal workers because you are too cheap your business should fail.
