After one of our debates here, and a visit to our local Walmart with their signs printed in English with smaller print in Spanish, I had a "light bulb" moment. Why not just tell Walmart how we in our family feel about this? So I did, and I am ancouraging you all to do the same, politely, and with no malice, just tell them like I did:

Call to my local Walmart transcript:

Receptionist: "Thank you for calling Wood Village Walmart, how may I direct your call?

Me: Hi, I would like to speak to your store manager please (in my most pleasant voice)."

Receptionist: "Sure, just one moment."

Store manager: "Hi this is Jane Doe, Store Manager, what can I do for you?"

Me: I and my husband had noticed something this last time we were in your store about the signs being in English in large print and Spanish in small print, and my husband asked out loud why these signs were not also in Russian, Chinese or Vietnamese? Why only in Spanish?

Manager: (hesitant pause) Well, um, they do this according to the cities demographics, by what the immigrant majority is in the area of that store, but I'm sure we will be having some new numbers soon and there might be some changes (you see it was at this point I realized she thought I was PC and she had to appease me)."

Me: "Well let me explain my slight sracasm about this, really the point I am trying to make is that we all know that anyone coming to this country legally has to learn English, it is one of the requirements, and we all know that the majority of the people who are here illegally are less likely to know English, and are less inclined to learn English. So it seems to me that the only people Walmart is actually accomodating to are the illegal aliens, and I know with myself and my husband, we find that very wrong because it is helping out people who are not even supposed to be in this country."
Not true! English language ability is not required to immigrate to the U.S. Some language ability is required for an adult to become a naturalized citizen. Just goes to show how little ALIPACers know about legal immigration, and again they think anyone speaking Spanish here is an illegal immigrant!

Manager: "Ma'am I understand what you are saying."

Me: "Let me explian why this is really more upsetting. Do you remember when there was a huge migration of people from Cambodia and Vietnam in the late 70's and early 80's?"

Manager: "Yes I do"

Me: "Well I remember vividly that nowhere in our city was there any signs in stores, or any kind of accomodation for these people, they simply learned English and assimilated into American society, and our government granted them assylum due to the political climate within their countries, so they were legally here. I would like you to pass this message on to the person who needs to know, and can do something about it, I would appreciate it very much. I know many people who feel this way and are offended that an American company would accomodate for illegal aliens, and possibly many legal immigrants might also feel offended."

Manager: "Yes I too agree with you on this, I will pass your message on and thank you for calling us about this."

This was pretty much the entire call. We had a pleasant conversation and she said she felt what I said was true. This was a pleasant call, and one that should be made by all of us, it only took about ten minutes. I felt that it was so stupidly simple, and wondered why I had never called them before. This is what they need to hear.

Call all your stores that accomodate. It is not about being mean it is about making it harder for illegal aliens and make them less comfortable, then they might reconsider being here.

I likened it to a child in the store. Ever experience that? They ask for candy, you say no, they start whining, you stand you ground, they scream. Next is what defines us all as parents, one we might stick to our guns, no candy, parent has shown who is boss. Or, we be one of those parents who gave in at the checkstand, thinking they have bought themselves a moments peace but to their dismay, they have just set themselves up for constant fits in the stores because they gave in one time. The illegals are doing the same thing. Our businesses and government have become those "parents" and given in to them, but it will never be enough. So, we Americans need to step in and take over and say no, and no more!

No more accomodating, no more.

Oh my gag reflexes!!    Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone.  I was barfing in Spanish.  

Man, I thought I was corny, but this person really tops it off.  First off, these people always boost their own egos by making it sound like they've the upper hand.  I bet you they got into it and once the guy told her it's based on demographics, she was like "Oh, ok, thank you, bye."  Man, where do they come up with this stuff.  Oh yeah, I called Wal-Mart and I told them "You better do as I say or else!"  and the manager was like "Yes'm!  Yes'm!  I'll do it right away"  and I was like "You better or else!"  and the manager was like "Oooooh!  Pleease don't hurt me!!  Pleease don't boooycott my businesss!  Oh the agony!  The pain!!  Theeeee toooorrrtuuuuure!!! "
