2017 and 2018 were the golden years. The GOP had the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. One of the many things they should have done - but didn’t - was make English the sole official language of the United States.

Back when my grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe, they had to learn English to navigate in this country. But why should an immigrant from Mexico or the Philippines bother to learn English now? These days government forms and store signs are printed in all sorts of languages.

Heck, I just got a bank statement the other day. If you speak only Tagalog, no problem. Just call this number and everything will be explained to you, in Tagalog.

Remember, probably have of the Republicans are RINO, and are beholden to the import foreign workers and transfer as mus\ch American wealth as we can overseas.

They also listen to the LSM and if they boo, the Republicans are bad ask them what they need to change because they want the LSM to like them, and to hell with their voters, they are the enlightened one.

Was it Metrobank, BPI, Banco De Oro?

All forms and communications for these Filipino banks and probably most others in the Philippines are in English...

My grandparents also came from Eastern Europe. True that they had to "learn English", but I really wish I had recorded them back in the day. I guess it was English, though, at times, I needed a Grandparent-to-English dictionary to figure it out!
