pdq, I think the problem is your "facts". You make quite a big deal over language. In the old neighborhoods, often the signs were in Polish, German, Italian, ..... any number of languages. And in those same neighborhoods you often had to have the kids and grandkids interpret, just as happens now. There is where I believe the racism comes in, on a general basis (meaning I am not saying you, but folks in general that are all jaundiced over this issue). Another point I would make to you is that you are all concerned about protecting the English language, but doesn't it strike you as odd that our country is the only place where the kids don't know 2,3 or even 4 languages as a matter of course? I just don't see the threat that you do. With all due respect, the pressure on the systems you are concerned about would be alleviated by giving these folks the ability to work above board.
