Dems All For Feds Suing English Speaking U.S. Companies

"All American" charitable organizations and companies too, like the Salvation Army, who prefers their employees speak the language of the US, ENGLISH and are now being sued for doing by the federal government. Hence the Lamar Alexander legislation outlined in the article below by John Fund.

So when they stand up there and proclaim that they are against illegal immigration they are doing what they do best, and this is lying through their teeth. If they are unwilling to back an English only piece of legislation protecting US companies that declare their businesses to be such and then allow them to be sued by the federal government to boot than they can hardly claim to be against it.

Unless of coarse they are against it after they were for it, before they weren't against it but then again all for it, then we should leave it up to the states before they are for it after they're against it again. Got that? That was Hillary's position a few weeks ago after her debate gaffe of coarse that went on for weeks of linguistic flip flopping unmatched even by the king of the flop himself in his heyday, John Fraud Kerry himself.

This bill was swimming along until "Speaker of the House of Nuts", the Queen herself, Nancy Pelosi got her paws on it and it's now being shelved as well as the bill in which it is couched that funds the FBI and someother important stuff to everyone but America sabotaging Democrats of coarse. Good job Nancy, illegal alien lover, enabler and supporter.

From Monday's Opinion Journal

John Fund on the Trail

OpinionJournal -"It's been less than a week since New York's Sen. Hillary Clinton and Gov. Eliot Spitzer had to climb down from their support of driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Now House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has moved to kill an amendment that would protect employers from federal lawsuits for requiring their workers to speak English.

Among the employers targeted by such lawsuits: the Salvation Army. Sen. Lamar Alexander, a moderate Republican from Tennessee, is dumbstruck that legislation he views as simple common sense would be blocked. He noted that the full Senate passed his amendment to shield the Salvation Army by 75-19 last month, and the House followed suit with a 218-186 vote just this month. 'I cannot imagine that the framers of the 1964 Civil Rights Act intended to say that it's discrimination for a shoe shop owner to say to his or her employee, 'I want you to be able to speak America's common language on the job,' ' he told the Senate last Thursday.

But that's exactly what the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is trying to do. In March the EEOC sued the Salvation Army because its thrift store in Framingham, Mass., required its employees to speak English on the job. The requirement was clearly posted and employees were given a year to learn the language. The EEOC claimed the store had fired two Hispanic employees for continuing to speak Spanish on the job. It said that the firings violated the law because the English-only policy was not "relevant" to job performance or safety.
