That social services forms must be filled out in English, BY THE APPLICANT and not by some nancy-boy do-gooder social worker/enabler. And after I am given power by universal acclimation, all applicants for social services as well as their children, must be sterilized. You're not gonna breed on my dime any more.
That is how I would fix the Welfare problem.
Puerto Rican don't have to learn English
Around the house or outside the house has nothing to do with speaking a language I want to speak. It's my choice and I am protected by the freedom of speech. However, when it comes to respect and communication within the country where the main language is spoken, it's a different issue.
The article this thread was reffered to mentions Puerto Ricans in Buffalo with an American passports. Think about Puerto Rico and it's history. Whoever comes from this country doesn't have to apply and pass the citizenship test, including the English Language test. Many people apply for the public assistance and granted its benefits without any problems. Puerto Ricans are citizens of the United States and don't have to follow steps that other ethnic groups have to struggle with. It's not fare and not easy. I bet you knew that. Right?
