Economy Should ENGLISH proficiency be a REQUIREMENT for migrants?

This is one of those 80-20 common sense issues dumb fuck liberals are on the wrong side of

They support themselves just fine. My parents did it.

Yeah, immigrant communities have tons of people with very limited English that thrive and do well.

What's more, yet ANOTHER thing these morons don't understand is that there's a ton of space between "speak English" and "doesn't speak English." It's not black and white. These geniuses think you either speak fluently and understand everything and speak it to your family members, or you don't know shit.

But there's a lot of people that can understand basic English, just enough to get by at work (especially when they own their business and it's an immigrant business) but not confident enough to speak it in their personal lives. A lot of people that "don't speak English" fit in here. They can fill out paperwork English, pay bills, pay taxes, etc., in English but can't speak it casually.

Bottom line, non-English speaking immigrants have been getting by in this country from the beginning.

I simply asked a follow up question to something you said. All good my man.

trying to work through someone’s history, meds, and so on through an interpreter is always awful. the more rare the language the worse it gets. i could type out pages on this but that’s the base level. maybe they don’t know they have something and im trying to ask questions in a way to get them to talk about something in a way i can use it.
