I actually have no problem with bi-lingualism, but you should definitely have to learn and speak the language of your host country. I think it's wonderful how most Europeans speak several languages.<BR/><BR/>DD2: Yup. Finally they are doing something right.<BR/><BR/>PAT J: Probably. Though $8,000 would be a lot for many of them. Just not sure they want to go home.<BR/><BR/>MUD: You have a point, though I think the offspring of the immigrants all speak French. <BR/><BR/>FRASY: That's hilarious. I thought it was far more complicated and in fact a test most American's wouldn't even pass.<BR/><BR/>WOMAN: I'm hoping Sarko is the one to help 'em get it back.<BR/><BR/>BCF: I doubt it would happen hear either. The illegal's they would probably just deport, and they have. They've deported those who are here legally. <BR/><BR/>T: I think they're talking about the legal immigrants in France, though, I could be wrong. As for here, I dunno.. I think you'd be hard put to find people to go out into the fields and pick grapes. <BR/>And they did have some success with a similar program a few years back. 3,000 left. Am keeping my fingers crossed for them.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-21980059396817540632007-05-25T16:27:00.000-04:002007-05-25T16:27:00.000-04:00It comes down to simple economics.

The latter is much less expensive.<BR/><BR/>Makes me want to visit Paris, sit on my butt, drink, exclaim "I'm not leaving!", and get my handout. -Same thing that happens here, but no one ever leaves...<BR/><BR/>-And don't give me that "they're here to work the jobs Americans won't do" crap. If they weren't here, Americans would do the work, but for more money.<BR/><BR/>Good for France. I hope it goes into effect just to see if it really works.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859248015766533640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-83188753992343258372007-05-25T12:47:00.000-04:002007-05-25T12:47:00.000-04:00Never happen in Canada, our Liberals rely on ethni...Never happen in Canada, our Liberals rely on ethnic voting blocs to win key ridings and besides "MultiCult" is officially state policy.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-30826418997410052832007-05-25T12:45:00.000-04:002007-05-25T12:45:00.000-04:00wooohoo!..some backbone for a change!wooohoo!..some backbone for a change!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-39561157384188192452007-05-25T09:02:00.000-04:002007-05-25T09:02:00.000-04:00What a wonderful idea !!

It isn't like 12 Million people from Mexico. Post one sign in Spanish and most of ours can understand. In France they are from all over Africa.

In the UK, they will now concentrate to teach the immigrants English rather then spending millions of £££ to translate to so many different languages to facilitate the immigrants .lizzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969479814514252364noreply@blogger.com
