Truth to Power

Then hire Americans, you jackass

‘No Spanish on my dime’

English-only sentiment grows loud

Adele Northrup doesn’t let her Mexican-born cleaning lady speak Spanish on the job. The same goes for her landscaper, who is from Guatemala.

And Northrup’s Christmas present to both of them this year is the same: a Spanish-English dictionary.

“I really resent feeling like a stranger in my own land,” says Northrup, the owner of the Virginia Highland Bed & Breakfast in Atlanta. “No Spanish on my dime.”</i>

Don’t like hearing people speak Spanish? Then DON’T HIRE THEM, YOU MORON!

Go out and hire an english-speaking crew to clean your toilets and cut your grass, probably at twice the rate you were paying. And at the end of the day, they can shuffle by and go “Thank you for da work, Massah Northrup…” and everyone will be good, happy ‘MERIKANS…
