Gene,
I hope this was a joke, if you have ever spent any time in S. Fla.
Texas, AZ or California you would know that many of the first generation
legal Hispanic citizens speak Spanish only.

So even if all of their workers are legal immigrants, they still have a
need for the translation.

What is wrong with that picture?

Looks like a smart business decision. How did you miss that?

It is a joke (and a really bad one, at that) at the American Worker's
expense. I suggest that, if these people want to stay in this country,
that should learn to speak the language. Boats are a lot like
airplanes and we did the Airplane Mechanic thing right. It is ILLEGAL
for an aircraft mechanic to sign off work on a civil certificated
aircraft if he/she cannot speak and understand the English language.
It is called safety and protects against many of those things
encompassed by human factors.... not the least of which is
communication.... which is obviously made more difficult by
translations back and forth.

So even if all of their workers are legal immigrants, they still have a
need for the translation.

They have a need to attend their local community college and learn to
speak in the English language.

Amen!
