I remember going to Quebec in Canada... and there were area's of town where the neighbors would smash or spray paint over any storefront windows that wasn't written only in French.

Having to live and work alongside a large population that speaks a different language isn't a new problems that only plague the Southwest. Rather then walls, pie in the sky promises and outrage, I humbly suggest we look at how other countries are dealing with it. Then we can have a rational talk about what we're going to do.

I was thinking about that comedian at the correspondents dinner. And how the Ryan tried to fire the Congressional Chaplin because he talked about the ethics of protecting the poor during a prayer. It's like we live in a age where Republican's can't take the slightest bit of public criticism, and I can't help but feel like rubbing their faces in it is how you fix those sorts of problems.

It gets your hands dirty reaching down that Trumpian rabbits hole, but you'd be fighting the good fight...

If you went to another country and found an employee who could speak English and was willing to help you by translating, would you be grateful?

Leaving California: Here's who's moving out, who's moving in.

Wealthier people and those from states like New York and Illinois are moving in by the droves to California while young people with less money are bailing out to states such as Texas, Arizona and Nevada, a report from the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office revealed Wednesday.

The underlying factors of these migration patterns are not spelled out in the report, but the data analyzed by the state’s fiscal and policy adviser office offers a pek at some interesting trends.

Yet you are ready to tell people in other places how they should act. See the contradiction in that?

You understand Spanish was spoken in California before the State joined the Union I hope. So by your logic shouldn’t we be speaking Spanish and saying to hell with these English speaking immigrants?
 
UC Berkeley Panel Blames Conservative Speakers For 'Inciting' Leftist Violence

A months-long study by a commission tasked with studying the issue of free speech on the University of California, Berkeley campus blames conservative speakers for deliberately "inciting" leftist violence. By insisting on speaking on campus, the commission says, conservative and right-wing speakers deliberately "incite[d] a violent reaction" from the radical left.

"Although those speakers had every right to speak and were entitled to protection, they did not need to be on campus to exercise the right of free speech," the commission states, as reported by Politico. "Indeed, at least some of the 2017 events at Berkeley can now be seen to be part of a coordinated campaign to organize appearances on American campuses likely to incite a violent reaction, in order to advance a facile narrative that universities are not tolerant of conservative speech."

Since the motives of the speakers, including Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter, are suspect, the report suggests, their right to free speech is "hard to defend."

"Many Commission members are skeptical of these speakers’ commitment to anything other than the pursuit of wealth and fame through the instigation of anger, fear, and vengefulness in their hard-right constituency," the report states. "Speech of this kind is hard to defend, especially in light of the acute distress it caused (and was intended to cause) to staff and students, many of whom felt threatened and targeted by the speakers and by the outside groups financing their appearances."

In addition to resorting to what amounts to a blame the victim argument and a rather clear assertion of the "rioters veto," the commission downplayed the anti-free speech presence on the campuses, relegating the violence and speech-suppressing tactics to a "very small group of students working closely with outside organizations."
