He congratulated the graduating class of 2011, but one but one principal’s commencement speech actually offended some in the crowd."Comfortable." We don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable...except the people who realize they live in America where English is the language of everyday life and business and people are no longer encouraged to learn it.
The graduating class at Whittell High School has only 30 students. Just a few weeks ago during graduation their principal gave an encouraging speech congratulating his students and their parents.
“Class of 2011, I want to congratulate you for all your accomplishments this year,” said Principal Crespin Esquivel.
He then said the same thing in Spanish, making sure his commencement speech could also be understood by his Spanish speaking parents and students who make up the second largest group of the school.
“I figured why not do it in Spanish? I think it’s important for me to make sure all the families feel comfortable,” said Esquivel.
When immigrants were migrating by the millions in the 1800's and early 1900's we welcomed them to our shores, but we didn't worry about making them comfortable. They knew they'd arrived in a country where they could go as far as their talent and work ethic took them, and they understood that if they wanted to do business in this country they had to learn English. There were no social programs and nobody gave them anything. They earned everything they had.
If they were uncomfortable, they had to fix it.
At some point the attitude changed. Immigrants weren't expected to do much of anything - just come here and we'll feed you, house you, and make sure everything you need is in your native language.
We basically enslaved them and limited their options.
Liberals knew that if a person is made comfortable enough in his own language he won't feel the need to learn English, and non-English speakers are easier to control because they can go only so far. They're more likely to be dependent on government services and when able, will be more likely to vote for the party that promises them the most. It was a plan for perpetual power.
I'd love to know how long some of those Spanish speaking parents in the crowd in Nevada have been in the country and why they're not fluent in English? What stopped them from learning?
Today we not only welcome immigrants, we coddle them. We make them dependent instead of encouraging independence. It's all part of the plan to create an increasingly pervasive government.
And it's a terrible disservice to people who could live much better lives if they were compelled to learn our language.

Amen.
My grandparents came from Italy. They didn't speak English, and there was no bilingual anything. They learned English and called themselves Americans, when they finally got their citizenship here.
They were proud to be Americans and instilled that in their grandchildren.
