CSU: Immigrants should speak German at home, CDU says LOLwhat ?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

The CSU really is an embarrassing anachronism.

Though it is slightly troubling the extent spent on ESL students and council translation services. I had a really awkward situation when I was internerning at a Field Centre. A teacher handed a bunch of kids to me ... without telling me none of them actually spoke English (they were all East Asian), so I spent an entire hour fruitlessly jabbering to a group of probably very confused children, wondering whether I had been given the shiest kids in the world...

But yeah, this is unenforceable dreck and is certainly not going to attract the bulk of AfD leaners.

I think we have to accept it as a reality that if we want open, non-protectionist, free societies there will be a significant proportion of the population who do not speak the native language. And I think the economic costs of being a closed society outweigh the costs of accommodating EFL people.

Also completely anecdotally, I'd say none of the people I knew growing up who grew up in bilingual homes (mostly Turks, Greeks, Indians and a few Chinese) seem to have found the experience a barrier for "assimilation".

What the christ, Europeans don't understand anything about immigration.

This seems like a fair enough statement.

If anyone ever tells me "BUT EUROPE IS MORE LEFT-WING THAN MERICA" ever again, I think I may simply print out this thread and staple it to their face.
