My employer is pissing me off.

You guys are paranoid. People that are unwilling to learn English do not have enough power to make all the changes the voices in your heads are telling you are happening. I believe our national language should be English. If you don't speak it get someone to translate government documents for you. I do not want to spend tax dollars on Spanish or any other language. I am not bothered when people speak other languages. If they don't speak English I will not be able to help them. That being said I will be very happy if my kids speak Spanish or any other language in addition to English. I wish I spoke more than one language.

On the cellphone subject I think your employer is being stupid. Stupid or not if my employees did something I did not want them to and it was not discriminatory I would fire them just because I can. I can always find another employee. In this market employees are easy to find. I don't personally believe what they are doing is wright but this is an at will state. You have the right to end the employment relationship at anytime and so do they without cause on either side.

back to the cell phone issue, claim it's broken and leave it at home for a few days while you work with the cell provider to get it replaced... if it's not documented somewhere that you're required to have a cell phone...

Sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm not really in fear of losing my job as they really can't afford to lose a single person.


Since we have somewhat migrated to the subject of immigration, I will say this. I don not blame those who will do what ever it takes to come here and try and start a better life. Look back at our own families history and you will find they did just that.

Who do I blame? The companies that hire those undocumented laborers. If they did not follow this illegal practice and were allowed to get away with it this would be a mute point.

OMFG!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Dying over here....
I agree, my great grandparents were 100% Italian as well, and they came over here, legally, got shitty TAX PAYING jobs, building our nation's infrastructure, even went so far as to change their last name from Notariani, to Notter, in an effort to be AMERICANS.

My Grandmother has told me stories about her mother slapping the taste out of her mouth for speaking Italian in public, as it was considered Un-American, to speak anything but English outside the home.

They came here for a better life, a chance at freedom, and to escape the Black Hand, which we now know today as the Mafia. They wouldn't have traded America for Italy or Sicily for ANYTHING.

Don't misconstrue what I'm saying, I'm not anti immigrant, I'm anti ILLEGAL immigrant. If you go through the process of coming here under a visa, and go through the naturalization process (which BTW, is hell more stringent that what they teach in schools. I know some philipinos that know more about American history that most people), then you have my 110% support. You will be my friend. However, you jump my border illegally, I beleive we have every right to shoot on sight.

precisely. I would like to see border jumping as a terrorist act and considered an invasion.

If you watch the video from this thread:

it'll make you feel twice as strongly about your last statement. (The speaker talks about Islamic patriots [not supposed to call 'em terrorists] crossing the U.S. border via Mexico).

but the people who get elected take these people into consideration. especially obama because he knows he can get their votes if he promises them something...and don't tell me their votes dont count...that mother fucker is part of ACORN and you know they vote people more than once, people who are dead and they sure as shit let illegals come in and throw down a dem. vote.

lets say you ran a business such as landscaping or construction.

If I, the government imposed a $25,000 fine on you for employing any illegal immigrant, would you do it. Basically what this whole thread comes down to is Spanish speaking illegal immigrants who are unwilling to learn our language and fuck the country over. each and every single tax paying citizen and legal immigrant who pays taxes get fucked...especially the latter.

Enforcement is the key. I have a couple buddies in the ICE enforcement who are frustrated on the fact that with all of those illegal worker being arrested, there is almost ZERO prosecution on the employers side.

We focus on drug dealers and smuggle routes in the war on drugs.. yet, when it comes to illegal immigration, we turn a blind eye on the employers, smugglers, organized job agents, etc.

Now I have to pay for uninsured motor vehicle insurance...guess the fuck why....you guessed it! the fucking illegals who don't carry insurance and the insurance companies were tired of paying for it, so they charge it to those who actually pay....WTF!!!!!

You need to calm down. You're saying all kinds of stupid shit now.

Next time I get a chance to buy something from Sniper7, I ll dress in my illegal immigrant outfit!
