As far as the English thing, it's very simple--if you are going to immigrate to a country, you learn the prevalent language or you will justly face the consequences of your actions. Some folks seem to think that it's our government's job to protect us and those who happen to be here illegally from the consequences of their own stupidity. Find that in the Constitution.

So you will be punished for not learning a language with no legal standing at all?

What you mean by punishment? IMHO If someone can't get a job in the U.S. because they can't speak English, oh well.

See that I can understand depending on the job. If it is a job that requires you to communicate with English speakers, then yes. But the idea of using the fact that somebody doesn't speak English as probable cause that they might be illegal is BS to me.

Not speaking English alone wouldn't hold up as PC, but it could be used in conjunction with other things that lead up to PC.

no, they'll be investigating for "not learning" the language, and punished for being an illegal immigrant.

Wow.
But no chance at all that they'll be sent back to their home for being an ILLEGAL immigrant?
You know, here ILLEGALLY?
Like I said, Wow.
