A result of Trump's and Sessions' hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric and the hateful right wing talking brainless heads. Make America bigoted again.

My wife often speaks Spanish to my son. We are a tri-lingual family, as my native language is German, and hers is Spanish.

So is some Trump cultist gonna call immigration enforcement on my wife if she's speaking Spanish to my son in the grocery store? The irony is my wife has an Ivy League MBA and has a salary that puts us in the borderline 1%.

Obviously it's up to the business owner but any employee I had would be required to speak English at all times unless it was for the benefit of the customer.

Why? Seems bizarre.

Unless fellow employees are threatened by intelligence or something, it would seem to be very odd to bar knowledge.

Sprechen sie deutsch? That along with knowing how to count to about 20 is all I remember from 3 years of German in HS.

Anti-"immigrant"? Trump isn't anti-immigrant he's anti-illegal alien. Learn to know the difference! Telling the truth about their negative impact on our society is neither hateful or bigoted.

Not defending this asshat at all, but I bet if you started a thread based just on the statement I bolded, you'd end up with quite a vigorous debate about it.

Because many customers who do not speak that language feel uncomfortable.

WTF are you are talking about? This is purely a business decision. I'm not running a school, I'm running a business. I respect people that can speak two languages and someone that is bilingual could be a huge asset for non English customers.
