LET’S SPEAK AMERICAN
LET’S SPEAK AMERICAN is a program the FLIPSIDE is developing in
which Hispanic immigrants will be taught conversational English by meeting
one-on-one with volunteers who will help them learn attain better English
fluency by discussing together the values that have made America such a great
beacon of freedom, security, and prosperity in the history of nations.
This program is modeled after the
Christian missions’ Let’s Talk program.
Lets’ Speak American is for Hispanic immigrants who know some rudimentary
English, but who are very weak in conversational English skills. Therefore, volunteers will NOT need to know
Spanish, but will need a great deal of patience and compassion.
A word about illegal immigration in regard
to this program. As most
listeners to the FLIPSIDE already know, this program in no way implies that we
approve of illegal immigration. For a
variety of reasons having to do with love, compassion, respect for the law,
justice for those who are waiting in line legally, the preservation of American
values, and with national security for all our people of all ethnicities, we
have made
it clear that we are for completely closing down our borders to illegal immigration, severe punishment
for knowing employers of illegals, removal of all
foreign aid for nations that assist and encourage illegal immigration,
incarceration for repeat illegals, and removal of
federal highway and education dollars from “sanctuary cities” who do not
enforce immigration laws.
However, the greatest unabated flood of
immigrants that has ever occurred in our history, whether by the actual number
or as a percentage of our population, has been the Hispanic immigration of the
last 50+ years. If we are to retain the
values that make America the beacon of freedom to the world, we must teach
these values to our immigrants. For
regardless of the outcome on amnesty, our Hispanic population and their beliefs
will have a great impact on what kind of America we will become.
To this end, the Flipside is in the
process of forming a 501(c)(3) educational incorporation and has already
obtained ownership of the following web domains for this purpose, which are now
under development: www.LetsSpeakAmerican.com, www.HablemosDeAmerica.com, www.LetsTalkAmerican.org, www.LetsTalkAmerican.us, and www.LetsTalkAmerica.us
