First let me tell you that I do not support what the US has become by hiring bilingual workers only.

The need for Hispanic workers are on the rise. Banks, stores, fast food establishments, and doctors offices are hiring more and more bilingual speaking people these days. It seems almost all construction companies employ mainly Hispanics for labor and equipment jobs. You may be looking for Hispanic employees for a variety of reasons. You might want to hire staff members who can better connect culturally with Latino clients. Sometimes, you may want employees who can converse with Spanish speaking vendors, associates or clients, or you just might be trying to diversify your workforce so it is a better reflection of the overall population. Any of these scenarios ring a bell? If you are making hiring decisions in the United States today, all of the above factors come into play. Are Hispanics the blame? The economy and the employers are the biggest contributors. A lot of employers already employed Hispanic workers to fill in the spots when the economy was good, when it took a turn for the worse, most companies kept the Hispanic workers due to cheaper wages and most employers feel the Hispanics work harder. With the increase in the Hispanic population, comes the need for American companies to hire bilingual speaking people to work in the public sector.

ok so... someone who happens to be hispanic and barely speaks english works hard, harder than most, is a good employee, and when the recession hits he keeps his job over others. may i ask how him happening to be hispanic has ANYTHING to do with the problem? looks like he kept his job for the same reasons that non-hispanic people do... by working hard, being honest and dependable, and work well with co-workers.

i just cant knock someone for working hard like that. being hispanic i do not see as an issue, or the language. sounds like you wouldnt want to talk to him anyways so whats the big deal to you? if it doesnt affect you, no worries.

**eyeseeall**

I am dating a Hispanic as I speak so I am far from racist. But what pisses me off is a citu with 12% unemployment there are ashit ton of jobs I'm qualified for that I can't work at because I only speak English. If that offends anyone then tough titty

Sounds like the market at work guys, is it not awesome.

I mean if these mexicans can speak english they are WORTH MORE AS AN EMPLOYEE THAN YOU ARE, im sorry.

Why dont you do what they did and step up, learn spanish and increase your qualifications.

**Bed**

Spanish is easy to learn. I'd be pissed if I had to write Mandarin, though.

many jobs in california are bilingual only, especially county and state. you can't even apply if you don't speak spanish.
we also have large numbers of vietnamese and cambodian immigrants here as well

i am going to laugh my ass when the tables are turned and the mexicans won't be able to apply unless they are fluent in cambodian chuckle

True statement... A real emphasis is placed on bilingual in Las Vegas... They don't come right out and say it is required, they just say it is a real plus or it is preferred, an so on... In other words, if you don't speak Spanish, save your time and energy...

This affects everyone in the US. Just about all government people that deal with the public have to speak Spanish. Everyone, everywhere in some form has to deal with Spanish. English speaking people are now being discriminated against for only speaking English. Stop making the US learn to speak Spanish, Hispanic need to learn to speak English.

That's how I feel, If Spanish speaking people live here then learn the language or stay home.

Really? And I'm sure the hispanic is to blame because hes the one that told the boss "I am to be given less rules and lower pay, that is an order." Yea sounds like a bunch of excuse making to me.

Someone else said it earlier.... being bilingual is a qualification. Being a narrow minded asshole and instead of manning up you make excuses as to why youre better and you got f*cked? Bullshit. My daughter just moved to florida taking a 60k per year job after graduation. As a bilingual english/spanish TRANSLATOR and you know whats funny you say its all for these hispanics? SHE WAS BORN SPEAKING ONLY ENGLISH. she went to college to educate herself.

Really really f*cking sad to see so many people wanting to toss everyone into bundles. Group everyone off and THIS group got f*cked because of THAT group. Way to go. Really thats so educated of you.- over.

I rest my case with you. Everyone should not have to be english/spanish TRANSLATOR. Go to Mexico and see how many government jobs have to be bilingual.

I live in SE Texas, a lot of the job offerings say, Bi-lingual only.
Of course they are not saying that if you are white you cannot have the job, but around here not too many white people are bi-lingual and speak fluent tex-mex.
And if you speak "tex-mex" you don't have to speak english very well at all.
