Trump doesn't hate foreigners or immigrants. He objects to illegal aliens and wants those from terrorist countries to be vetted more properly. Why the lies by liberals in here? You can't state your case without lying?
If the issue was to properly vet immigrants from those countries, you dont think that if 17 months later they still havent come up with a way to do it or even addressed it, then it comes off as an excuse.
Immigration is a wedge issue used by both parties to get their base to vote against their own interest on other issues, neither side has any intention of fixing anything. I am of the opinion if you enacted or revamped the guest worker program, give some criteria for legalization on certain cases, tax those people use that money to pay for enforcement of labor protections for those workers, it would solve 80% of our illegal immigration problem.

This dude (and many others) should learn just because he's too lazy to learn another language doesn't mean that anyone speaking different languages can't speak your own.
OK, what language do you suggest. I took Italian for 3 years in high school and I've only used it once in my life when I travelled there and I failed miserably.

The only value learning another language when you are an English speaker is the etymological aspect of it. Oh and according to you, it would mean I'm a human being.

I didn't say they couldn't.

Well you implied that when you castigated someone for speaking an LOTE in public, in the USA.

Still wondering how “race” fits in here. I realize the msm narrative and all but language does not = race

You'd be surprised, we're everywhere. (Also, Danish isn't the only language I hold in reserve.)

personally I think it's rude to speak in another language to a co-worker in front of a customer if you speak their language

Spread hate, get hate back. No pity for the idiot.



Puerto Rico is a US territory and the people are US citizens.

Stay awake in class next time.
Reading comprehension.

I asked a question about statehood.

Also this is very political. So what if someone ask you to speak a certain way. Move on.
They immediately threw politics into this by calling him a trump supporter

A customer was speaking to an employee in this situation. It was a regular customer that frequented the store.
