Whether you agree with Tim James or not...
J.D. Crowe makes a good point in today's Press-Register:
Setting Alabama back about 20 years doesn't make much business sense to me.
(Wait a minute. Looking down at my notes ... )
Does it to you?
Also check out today's editorial in the Press-Register.
I'm interested to know what other people think about the ad. I'm sure most Alabamians would instinctively agree with the ad--to borrow a phrase from Tim, it's common sense. However, I think one can make the argument that there are better ways to address the problem of assimilation than this particular piece of legislation.
In my opinion, the problem isn't really a language problem, it's an immigration problem. A large number of immigrants who come here are not making the effort to assimilate into American culture.
