Did we forget that we are all immigrants?  After reading the comments on the LPGA language requirement, I was surprised at the ignorance that still exist in this country.  Frankly, I am embaressed for those people who found it nessesary to go as far as to tell those people in the UNITED States to either speak the English language or go home.  I felt extermely sorry for the person who made a comment in the area of, why do Mexicans come to the United States anyway, gas is less expensive and everything is cheaper...are you kidding me?  Just to clarify, people come to the United States for many reasons, primarly because of their countries economy.  I could not speak for all countries, but I could touch a bit on Mexico.  Many, if not all, Mexican immigrants that come to the United States, come to this country to better themselves and their families.  They are hard working indivisuals that are unable to make a living due to the economies infrustructure.  The average pay rate for a work day in Mexico could be compared to the average hourly rate in the United States.  Sound appealing, I think it does.  Why not come to the United States and make eight times your pay rate in a day.  That's the mentality that the immigrants have.  Sadly, it is American companies that encourage Mexican workers to want to leave their country.  Companies, such as Wal-Mart is one of those companies that have opened their doors to cheap labor in Mexico and their support system is the United States (does anyone remember NAFTA).  After NAFTA, did anyone other than me notice that almost everything we see and or wear has a label that states, Made or assembled in Mexico.  That's right, lets take advantage of the cheap labor in a nieghboring country in order to make the most profit possible.  Once in the United States, language is one of the last things in an immigrants mind.  Why?  Let me put it in perspective to those Conservatives blaming immigrants for the downfall of this country.  Once in the states, those immigrants have to take upon those jobs that are set for the reserve labor force (for those of you that don't know what that is, pick up a book on globolization) and find themselves working long hours with little pay.  It is not uncommon to pick up extra shifts and or a second job in order to make ends meet.  Is there anytime for night classes, maybe not.  That makes it close to impossible for an immigrant to learn a second language.  This proves to be true in this day in age, where people with graduate degrees are struggling to stay afloat.  Now just imagine someone with no education or specialized training.  Now back to sports, what does language have to do with sports?  What if a person was deaf?  What would be his or her requirement?  "That's good son, you just shot -16 below par, but um, um, you have to sit this one out cause you can't communicate with the sponsors".  Doesn't that sound simply stupid.  In my life time, it doesn't matter what language you speak, as long as you could play better than everyone else, you are going to be followed by sponsors.  Honestly, are those sponsors looking foward to having a discussion with the athletes or cashing in their bonus checks.  Remember, dollar signs and numbers are a universal language that everyone understands (even the blind and deaf).  In retrospect, this new rule is sheer ignorance and a proven fact that someone's ego has been damaged and the most reasonable way to go about it is using the immigrant as the scapegoat, why not, it works.  For those of you that find the need to belittle a culture and or country, please make sure you do not pass judgement because the only thing you are doing is painting a picture of what American culture really knows.  Thank you.
