Well, we didn't listen to Russia when it alerted us about the Boston bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, so perhaps we now need to look at their advice a heck of a lot closer.
At a January 2012 meeting of the Board of the Federal Migration Service, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president noted in a speech:
We must create the conditions for immigrants to normally integrate into our society, learn Russian and, of course, respect our culture and traditions and abide by Russian law. In this regard, I believe that the decision to make learning the Russian language compulsory and administer exams is well grounded. To do so, we will need to carry out major organizational work and introduce corresponding legislative amendments.
In today's paper, there was an article about a woman who got "screwed" out of unemployment insurance--she didn't speak English. Now the Department of Labor has said that Florida violated her civil rights when it required job seekers to apply on-line. Oh, and the form wasn't in Spanish and no one she called spoke Spanish either.
I am mighty tired of all these losers here in this contry and in our town.
