[QUOTE=TwinkieHouse;21671932]By giving law enforcement the legal authority to stop anyone that even LOOKS like an immigrant on the grounds of "reasonable suspicion"?
"Yes, I was reasonably suspicious that he came to this country illegally."

no black people teaching english now? what
Nobody has the right to argue with this unless you've had a teacher like this. I live on the border, and I've had my share of teachers who spoke more Spanish than English. I nearly failed Trig because I couldn't understand what my teacher was saying thus I didn't get the work. He also only helped the Mexican kids because it was an "inconvenience" to speak English all day. I'm just a white kid, I deal with all of this shit, but some of the points people bring up are retarded because they don't know what they're talking about.
I almost had doubts about my state but T2L_Goose made some sense. Why would we want little kids that are trying to learn English being taught by someone who can't speak in a way that they can understand?
[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;21664841]Jesus you guys need to give this shit a rest.
You're so quick to jump down someone's throat because you think their racist without rationally giving it a good thought.
Do you truly think it's a good idea to have people who have accents teach children English? It's not because "they sound funny", it's because it causes confusion for the learners.[/QUOTE]this. english is very verbal, as the english language is very hard to master, it is important to learn from those who can speak it well. it's easier to learn a language through speech than it is otherwise. for now we'll see if it's taken too far.
Ungrammatical, sure.
Accented, WHY THE FUCK?
