Another embarrassment from the do I still live in the USA file. I decided the best way to occupy my "free" time this winter would be to get another part time job. I was approached by one of the tellers at my local bank who said there was a part time position at their bank for a floating teller. I always wanted to work at a bank so I figured what the heck. The application process was all online which I completed and when it came to the box marked language I selected English which was to my surprise last on the list of about 9 languages. Spanish was of course first. This morning I got a phone call from a recruiter who said they were interested in interviewing me and that she had one or two questions to ask. The first was of course how much Spanish could I speak and write. I responded, "None at all. Why do you ask?" She told me that it was a requirement for the job. I told her I looked over the qualifications pretty closely and that it said nothing about being bi-lingual. It was the last item listed in ideal qualifications. I have an interview but not much hope after that.

By the way. I bank at with this company and I go to this branch at least 5 times a week. There isn't one full time teller in the place that speaks a second language. I guess my hopes of a job with the DMV providing licenses to undocumented aliens is out of the question.

Bitch, bitch bitch......... I know. Getting grumpy after only 16 days with no MDing. Watch out in January.

I'd find a new bank that didn't cater to illegals............it's no different than all these stores who have to have isle signage in spanish, in addition to English. It isn't too much to ask them to speak the language (or atleast learn it) if they want to LEGALLY be here. I wonder how much longer before spanish becomes the national language, we're already 1/2 way there :veryangry:

I was the most qualified for a job in Fl, but because I couldn't speak Spanish, I didn't get the job. If you have a business in Fl. you want to have someone to speak Spanish or you will lose money. I moved to WV. and it was on the news as the most undiverse place in the nation. They are now trying to get more diversity in the area. I tell people watch what you ask for. I believe that all people are the same, except for the culture that we were raised in and the values that come with that culture. I have traveled a lot and this is the most family orientated place I have ever seen. I make fun of my family. I asked them if they know of any Porto Ricans in the area. They ask me, "What is a Porto Rican?"
I have a good Porto Rican friend in Fl. I was trying to tell him of the WV. culture. My dad would leave the garage door open all day when we were leaving for a day trip. He said we will shut it when we come back. My Porto Rican friend said that in Porto Rico he wouldn't have anything left in his garage. That is the way of life there. A Mexican friend told me that if you don't value your tools by looking them up or keeping a close eye on them. Then you don't care about your stuff and any one is allowed to take it. Where I use to work the Chinese said the same thing.
 
I get madder and madder the more I think about it. I'm sorry I brought it here, to a forum I like to visit to escape from the cruddy things life throws at you these days. My apologies.

Is there room for any Yankees in West Virginia? Probably not.

You would have a tough time here in Cali-mexico:ban:
 
Hey guys,
I can sympathise with you as we are going thru this in Scotland as well.
Our problem is with Asians as their culture is creeping into local events more and more.
When our various communities have their civic days & gala days there are more n more Eastern things involved such as belly dancers, and Bangladeshi music which are not within our culture.
But these communities are happy to say we are a multi racial community, and all this in Scotland.
I find it rather sad that we're losing our Scottish identity, these people should be made to eat the king of the puddin' race a' la Haggis for 7 days a week for 6 months, but I wouldn't waste my whisky.
 
I would hate to spend all that money to travel to Scotland and see belly dancers and listen to eastern music. I'm not sure about seeing an organ grinder.:rofl::poke:
When I travel I love to see the culture of that area. I might even wear a kilt when I get to Scotland.
Go to Disney and you will see grown men wearing Micky Mouse ears.
 
My whole point was, this is America......the country's language is English. If I'm correct, part of the "deal" of being a "legal" US ctizen is speaking English. Why should we cater to anything different? If you can't read it or speak it, then you'd better learn it, or you're SOL.......atleast that's the way it should be.

Yeahnit sucks when you have to speak a foreign language to get a job in your own country. Welcome to the North American Union. Soon the bank will be handing out Ameros instead of Federal Reserve notes, but it doesn't matter, neither are worth the paper they are printed on. The Federal Reserve is the biggest counterfeiter in the world. They print money from nothing, backed by nothing, then loan it out and collect interest on it. It has as much actual value as Monopoly money. The Federal Reserve itself is counterfeit and unconstitutional but most folks don't know that. Many folks think it is a branch of the goverment, WRONG. It's a private cartel of big bankers who actually run this country. Ever wonder whatever happened to the "peoples" gold at Fort Knox. Well nobody knows, not even Congress.

That is the Federal Immigration law but Congress and our illustrious President adamantly refuse to enforce it or any other immigration laws. It's all part of the grand plan for the NAU, to do way with our north and south borders, and to turn this country into a third world sh%t hole. It's coming at you hard and if folks don't wake up they'll soon wake up in a country they don't recognize nor want to live in.

How about the old boy in Texas today who shot and killed two burglars ( illegal aliens ) robbing hie neighbor's house. All the minorities are raising hell about it but in Texas you are allowed to shoot the bad guys. Here in Oregon if someone forces their way into or breaks into your house they are all yours to blow away as you please. Had a cop tell me some time ago that if I had to shoot somebody outside the house to be sure and drag them inside before calling the cops. Said it made the paper work much simpler.

Bill
 
Yeah they are about 60% of the population there now, especially down south. They said some time ago that we stole California from them and they were going to take it back. Well they've just about accomplished that.

Look at the labels on food and other products - Spanish and English and often Oriental. America exists only in name anymore. Soon it will be Mexamerica.

I think it's a shame, what this country has become. But....thieves are going to steal until they're punished, out government is no different. With the number of hard-working honest Ameircan citizens in this country.......I don't know why they won't band together & put an immediate stop to all this nonsense.

Because we have turned into a nation of whiny, wimp, pansies. When I was growing up in this country this kind of crap wasn't tolerated and people rose up, raised hell, and done something about it. And we had no illegal immigration problem. Even the Presidents of the time didn't tolerate it, but they weren't bought and paid for by Coporate America.

I remember when Eisenhower was president a bunch of illegals were sneaking in so he put out the word for all law enforcement and Military to arrest every one they saw and slap them in the slammer. In about a week nearly a million of them scampered back across the border, with more followed later. The problem ended.
