Press 1 to suck the blood of America

Posted 29 Nov 2006 in illegal immigration

Have you grown up in America only to be dismayed by now having to “press 1 for English” when calling a business? Does it irritate you to have our native language relegated to optional status?

According to Paul Campos, law professor at the University of ColoradoIf, that makes you a well-paid parasite who infests our fabulously wealthy nation. (h/t: Moonbattery)

[T]he most significant fact to keep in mind about people who speak Spanish in the United States is this: such people are invariably performing useful labor. In fact, it isn’t too much of an exaggeration to say that the odds a person does the kind of work that simply has to get done in order to keep civilization afloat go up in direct proportion to the probability that this person speaks Spanish.

Those among us who build the buildings, and cook the food, and clean the bathrooms, and trim the trees, and care for the children – in short, the people who, in Orwell’s phrase, “make the wheels go round” – are increasingly the people who press “2″ in order to hear their options in Spanish.

Meanwhile, the immense mass of well-paid parasites who infest our fabulously wealthy nation – the financial analysts, the political consultants, the managers of human resources, the vice presidents for West Coast promotion, the producers of television commercials designed to increase the consumption of certain breakfast cereals, and, needless to say, the syndicated newspaper columnists – will continue to become annoyed at the need to press “1.”

An interesting opinon: Spanish-speaking people who refuse to learn English need to be catered to. Must be that their labor is worth more than everyone else’s. I guess they’re able to work extra hard with all the effort they save by avoiding learning to speak English. There we have it! The guvmint is enslaving these people in menial jobs by allowing them to press “2″ on their phones for Spanish!

Blogmeister USA points out the not-so-obvious:

I’ll have to speak to my neighbors, who came here from Brazil and have their own painting business. Perhaps they might appreciate having a number to push for Portuguese. Or the mother of one of my good friends, who came over from Germany many years ago and worked as an aide in a nursing home before retiring. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind a German phone menu option. Another good friend of mine came over from India when she was a child. I’ll bet her parents would like a chance to press “1″ for Hindustani when negotiating modern communications.
…
So when Mr. Campos thinks about those poor workers who have difficulty learning English, perhaps he’ll think about the fine people I mentioned above. They seem to be getting along just fine, despite the lack of coddling from the nanny staters.
