USDA Removes Spanish Food Stamp Soap Operas: Should America Advertise Food Stamps in Español?

Correct. Also , the USA prints federal tax forms in Spanish. The first year they did this tax returns from the Spanish community nearly doubled. The new returns made filing taxes easier so tax dollars from the Spanish-speaking community increased dramatically.

really ....funny how liberals like to play lose with the facts - a .05% rise in federal revenue accompanied by a 2.4% rise in tax refund checks is far from an increase / but then again you are probably one of those people who claims Obama is doing a “good job” with a 1.8% GDP growth and a 4% inflation rate aren’t you ….

the private sector can advertise in what ever language they so desire, my problem is the gov't sector ...

sorta like this, put milk / food out on the porch and cats will over run your yard, and if it is not the cats, it will be rats..
I see no advantage in encourage the illegals to steal their way into our country or to stay here..

LET THEM LEARN ENGLISH !! If they want everything in spanish,..........LET THEM MOVE TO SPAIN, SOUTH AMERICA OR PUERTO RICO!! Or go back to where came from !! They njeed to apply "legally to come here !! I read that there are about 25 million "illegals" here from ALL OVER THE WORLD ?? IS THIS TRUE !! Why bring these people here for "benefits" ??

hmm, they will work for food,
but they will not speak English for food ?
damn, we got some dumb illegal aliens swimming the Rio ...

Such stores I do not trade with

Everything needs to be advertised in English. When I was in Mexico and Peoples Republic of China and Japan there was no advertisements in English. So that is good enough for me.
Either learn our language or get and interpreter.

Either that or start refunding all tax collected from Spanish Speakers.... More seriously when a sizable number of your customers speak Spanish, you need to speak Spanish. Conservatives always say government needs to run more like a business---so there you go!

what taxes ? your a tool-

Actually if you think about it, a task not out of reach to a Libertarian (as opposed to a Tea Party conservative), being a 'tool' is a compliment... A tool enables work to get done so I accept your complement. Thanks!

Seriously, after addressing your trolly side, do you really believe Hispanics don't contribute taxes - sales, SSI*, FICA* and otherwise. (YES, if they are illegal they may be paying payroll taxes under somebody else's SSN but that's even better - money in and no obligation out!) Most Spanish speakers are tax paying citizens/legal residents and even the illegals may be making valuable contributions - such as the day labor services available in your local Home Depot parking lot. Those that are illegals aren't even eligible for the vast majority of welfare services so having a sign in Spanish is harmless. Do I believe that Hispanics (and some other minorities) may disproportionately make use of the social safety net? Absolutely and statistically proven. However 100 years ago in New York the same was said about Italians and before that the Irish (both of whom were also mostly illiterate in their own languages.)

Illegals display Americans workers. Besides picking fruit most of the jobs done by illegals were once done by Americans .

Illegals displace Americans and reduce costs for our food supply, vintoculture, residential construction and maintainance industries .... We would (unfortunately) see these costs bid up to get Americans to do them. That might (read might in italics) be a good thing if we are all fully aware and accept the implications. There is a LOT more to this than simply tossing out the illegals... Many of the vintoculture and orchard skills are actually not even easy to train or pick up.

sales tax ? We have no national sales tax - as far as FICA and SSI you as a DIE-HARD DEEP-BLUE communist liberal have no idea what your talking about ....have a care little communist before you bring up the WOP's or the filthy terrorist Irish ! They both have a history in this nation .
But back on target , why (other than driving votes to the DNC that is ) are you for the expansion of the Food stamp program with money we don't have ???

Great reply, you have to remember some folks are out of touch with reality. I often get irritated when our patriotic citizens are so concerned about other people as they often do work for cash only so they don't have to pay taxes on it doing under the table or trade off work. It isn't just illegals but our own Patriots trying to subvert the system.

*You're.

You do realise that Spanish citizens pay taxes too, don't you?

you LIE ! but then again you have no idea what taxes are and chose to pretend that you are paying taxes while taking money out of the system every single year . Spanish citizens ? O do go on what nation are they citizens of and loyal to that we should pay them to live here ......

It's simply foolish and downright hilarious if you think there are no legal Spanish citizens of the US,

not what I said but being an ANTI- American liberal sexist tard as you are no mater what I say you will DEMAND all Americans change to fit your ideas and goals as they stem from your deep seated self loathing and are projected on others who you envy for being better than you-
If they are all working so hard and paying so much tax then why is the government have money problems ?????

Duh Genius it is called overspending. Like a bunch of drunken sailors at a party. Lets have a few more wars on the credit card called the American public. Lets toss out some more foreign aid at 47 billion Fy12 http://www.state.gov/s... while we have 45 million kids in poverty.
If you are so concerned with us not having enough money how about welfare that goes to corporations?

taxes? We don't need no stinkin taxes

No, it's your business if you want to communicate with them is Spanish. That's your right. But it is my business to say that my tax dollars should not be spent making special concessions for those that come into this country and do not learn the language. Doesn't matter if conservatives say that or not. But that is not what they would mean if they did say it. They mean be careful of how our tax dollars are spent like a business and balance the budget.

Well I still haven't learned Ojibwe but thankfully the US Gov't condescended and started printing things in English!

Well stated!

For some reason, the question isn't allowing me to vote for comment... no matter how often I refresh (even tried loading this in a different window)... but you just said pretty much exactly what I wanted to say.

No and illegals should not be receiving food stamps.

and yet the application says you do not have to prove citizenship to get them ! cut the whole dam program and see what happens !

It does require that you both provide and SSI and certify that you are a US Citizen or legal resident alien. 'Proof' is a matter for each state to administer and some have become somewhat more interested. I don't want to cut the whole dam program - that leads to flooding if Hoover or Grand Coulee fail. : )

go read the application before posting foolishness , next you will say you need proof of ID to get medicaid or vote ...you communist trolls are almost amusing in your willingness to share LIES when you think they will grow your party and brand

wrong ! go read the application before posting slants that you 'like' to help your liberal masters ...I "get it" illegals vote democrat and you "like' that but that does not make your actions and lies OK
BTW are you really sure that the best way to be a free thinking libertarian is to repeat whatever Obama& Eric holder tell you to ?

Nor do they or can they...

One term. Anchor babies. Enough said.

Worry about big money not nickle and dimes

Definitely NOT!!

Hell no...and Children's & Families should have their forms only in English too. Do like Alabama how they do their drivers license test - if you can't read English then you are sh*t out of luck!

That`s exactly how it should be in all 50 states!!

Let's stop trying to be PC a start just being right.

Are we not already corrupting the work ethic of immigrants enough?

It is wrong to allow government to steal from taxpayers, to advertise against the taxpayers, for the expansion of already-too-big government.

All in English, if you live in the US speak English.

couldn't have said it better

No, advertisements shouldn't be made promoting dependency, period. BTW - The language here is English.
