Federal Gov’t Sues Wisconsin Company, Says English-Language Requirement is 'Discrimination'

I live in South Florida. There are businesses in Miami that you can walk in to including banks and fast food chains, that no employee speaks English. Most of the jobs down here have a "Bi-lingual" requirement. What "Bi-lingual" means in South Florida is that you must speak Spanish and English is not a requirement. You better believe that this effects your ability to get a job if you were born and raised in the USA and do not speak Spanish.

There is also a large Haitian population down here whose native language is creole, which is a french based language mixed with African dialect. Does this "Bi-lingual" policy not also discriminate against them? English is our common language; an English requirement is something we must enforce to protect Americans and to help forge us all into one nation.

If every job had a requirement of fluent English, this would serve to hasten the pot to melt, to improve unity in this country and benefit all of us. This is unfortunately not the goal of the divider in chief.

Irene Garcia, the blog editor and Spanish media liaison for Judicial Watch, called the EEOC’s accusation “ludicrous.”

“That’s ludicrous and an overreaching of ..
