i dont think you do understand

or at least you dont think it matters

all you try to do is justify american citizens paying for immigrants to not have to learn english

it costs you more to provide information in 2 languages than it does in one language

unless you suck at math you should be able to easily understand that

so you think it would cost $1 extra to print hundreds of thousands of forms

by the way do you still claim it wouldnt cost extra? or have you finally retracted one of your trolling lies?

no i dont think it would cost $1
the point was to show why i added significantly

it should be obvious logic

fucking christ

so how about if it cost $1 more? $100 more? $1000 more?


where do you draw the line?

I am gonna laugh my ass off when Bush says he is against a national language and all of you suddenly bash him and claim its just a political ploy

Man I'm glad you kids aren't in power...you would probably give all the illegal immigrant criminals amnesty and withdraw all troops from any foreign land to come back and protect our new Spanish sovereignty

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a lot of stuff up. I say that the forms in multiple languages thing pays for itself. Why? Because the amount of money the government can collect that they otherwise couldn't (if the forms were only in English) is greater than the cost to print said forms.

Then I suppose you are very angry at all the other things that just started up in the last half century

You don't have to worry about that from me. Pretty much the only reason I stuck by Bush for several years now was his relatively pro-immigrant stance; if anything, I think his having turned his back on that recently is a political ploy.

Quote :
"Man I'm glad you kids aren't in power...you would probably give all the illegal immigrant criminals amnesty and withdraw all troops from any foreign land to come back and protect our new Spanish sovereignty"


You're right on the first half, far, far from right on the second.

DUDES, GREATEST IDEA EVER!!!!

Okay, so we include translations on these "costly" (LOL, couldn't keep a straight face) documents, EXCEPT we print them in teeny print all around the margins of the page. This way the translations wouldn't require any extra paper.

(And, oh yeah, new immigrants will just need to buy or borrow a magnifying glass.)
