Thread: Immigration/Health Fair: Lectures in Span. w/ Eng. transla.

This was in our local paper. They are having yet another Health Fair with immigration advice at a school. This time I saw something different though. They said there will be a health lecture every hour with English translation. I went to a school event last year that turned out to be in Spanish, then it was translated into English. When it began my child looked at me and said, "But I don't speak Spanish."

For english press 2, for spanish press 1. It appears that more and more educators are teaching in spanish instead of english. English needs to be the official language of the country. No school or other instruction in the US should give lectures in anything but English.

Hi Fedup!

Thank you for letting me know about this. I can't believe that our lovely Mayor turned down a conference giving information on immigration reform, because he didn't want it in HIS town, yet he is letting this go on in OUR town and even using OUR schools to do it!! Un-fricking-believable!!!

Please do what they did in Herndon, VA: turn him out of office. Get somebody good to run against him.

Has ICE been informed?? It would be great to see them round up illegals and their anchors so noone can claim that families are being broken up...
