Learn English or go home!
I stopped by a Lowes (in Colorado) earlier today to buy some plumbing parts. I remembered that they used to label their aisle descriptions with a smaller Spanish subtitle but now it is equivalent sized and they have added a big "welcome" in Spanish plastered right on the front doors.
I''m getting tired of this crap and these corporate appeasers. I want to make a "This is America, learn English or go home!" sticker that I can discretely slap on the Spanish language sign as I enter.
Google tells me the translation is "Esto es América, aprender Inglés o ir a casa!"
Can anybody fluent in Spanish confirm it? (I hated Spanish even in high school where I got two "Ds")

I know what you mean PFWAG,about a year ago the two main supermarkets in my town took down the signs that had large English and smaller Spanish words and made them the same size it allmost seems spanish dominates the signs now.Needless to say I try not to shop there but its just hard not to sometimes.
We can't deport them all ? Just think of the fun we could have trying!

I would say if you want others to follow the law, you should too and not vandalize other people's property. I understand your frustration, but there are other lawful actions you can take including not giving them your business. Violating the law ( I am going to reasonably infer it would be illegal, although you probably won't be prosecuted) while arguing others should follow the law is contradictory.

attorneyatlaw: When in the course of human events there comes a point when civil disobedience is required to make a point. It is either that or "I'm mad as hell and am just not going to take it any more."
Damn torries, all of them.
Know a good lawyer that will defend me pro bono if I'm arrested? Something tells me the ACLU wouldn't take the case.

Have always been and always will support English as the Official Language of the U.S.
If you can't speak it or read it, then DEAL WITH IT. It's not the U.S.A.'s responsibility to adapt to you.
Example: I am retired Air Force and live in Japan. I do NOT expect the Japanese to adapt to my little knowledge of their language. Since I choose to live here, it is MY responsibility to adapt, NOT VICE VERSA.
