Yes, of course he speaks American didnt you understand him, and you responded in American too (talking to guy above me) But yes, i speak Mexican, although my Mexican isnt that great, mainly food names. I recently found out my neighbor isnt named El Taco. Sad times when no one is named El Taco.

Because they don't understand English in Mexico, So the Mexican want you to speak Mexican-Spanish to them. Next time pretend you don't speak Spanish.

I wonder if they will pay me today: "Me pregunto si me pagarán hoy". Or simply, make it a question: ¿Me pagarán hoy?

you have to drive through the parking lot and you will see a large group of latino men, likely wearing cowboy hats. usually there will be at least one "spokes person" for their group that speaks more than mexican. sometimes they have women at home making tamales you can also but for a good price by the dozen. if that fails i've also noticed a crowd similiar to this at local 7-11s. but im just guessing.

Depends on your terms of hiring. Are you classifying them as emplyees or independant contractors?

Many companies like people who can speak both Spanish and English. You could make fliers saying, "Hola! Mi nombre es..." and translate it into English.

Most farmers here hire help from Mexico or Jamaica for the summer. We also pay minimum wage (at least!!!) which is what DOUBLE that of the USA and provide housing while you are here.\n\nThere are advertisements in Mexico for such workers as I understand it. I live in a farming community and we welcome with open arms the hard working labour force that lives here from May to September!!! :)\n\nYour best bet may be to check out http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/Search_en.asp?ProvId=06&Student=false\n\nOh and as a human I feel the need to apologize to you, another human for the behaviour and uneducated, ignorant comments by the other posters. Is it the American thought process or just a total disregard for human beings??? \n\nPROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!!

Minute-Men should start picking up vegetables, work on construction, and doing all the hard labor to keep immigrants from working. Instead of hearing whites saying that they can do all those jobs without the Mexicans I would like to see them actually doing those jobs. More action less words!

Probably not, but it sure looks like you are ready to put out all the forest fires with your ethnic costume and all.  Good, we don't have to send the Mexicans to do that dirty job....we really need the rain.  Please don't go play cowboys and Indians.  That's history!

No of course not.\n\nIf you have even a reasonable education you are in little danger of losing your job to an illegal.  It's just blatant conservative scare tactics at work.\n\nOutsourcing is a totally different issue.  Guess that's what "globalization" means, though ...

First, our government doesn't HAVE to hire anyone for anything.  It usually is the owners of the farms who do the hiring.  They are seeking a profit, & this means that the people who will work for the least amount of money will be hired to do the job so that the profits will be higher for the owner.  I see all types of people working in the fields, but a larger percentage of them are of Latino Heritage.  They have a oneness and more of the work ethic instilled in their culture than the average American.

There are works that require to speak another language. Some companies have clients / suppliers abroad the US and require people in their company to speak another language. Not to mention in the tourism industry.\n\nNow, if english is not required to the operation of the business, I still don't see the problem of people speaking in another language, as far as they can properly communicate in english when required. Every worker must be able to communicate in english to others in their company. I am sure there can still be exceptions to this rule and it should be taken in account.\n\nImagine a company that needs an expert to work for them and their only options are people from abroad, non-english speakers. Should the company stop hiring someone they need until this person learns english properly? I don't think so, the company I worked for before was in a situation like this. Such cases should be justified though.\n\nMy point is, a strict rule of "english only" ain't exactly the best solution, at least from my point of view. Circumstances and business goals should be taken in account without neglecting the fact that english must be always the first option to communicate among workers and with clients / suppliers.\n\nI feel at times that there are chauvinist arguments that seem to forget every possible business scenario and how it affects their operations.\n\nBye

I know people that work at Law Offices and Doctors Offices.  To get the job, they needed Spanish.   No differential is offered for this skill.   \n\n\nSORRY
