Forgive me, but...under siege by what? Spanish
* consonants?
"Good God, Jim, they say a 'B' sound when the letter is actually a 'V'! We can't even leave the house anymore for fear a Spanish consonant might land on our heads and take the children hostage! The children, Jim! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"
"Now, Mildred, we just have to be strong. Hear that siren? That means someone somewhere close by may be speaking English with an accent, so you run along to the basement until the threat passes. And remember - if we can just get rid of all those damn teachers with accents, then in another 18 years or so, if we're very lucky, everyone will pronounce their Vs as God intended and then this cruel war will be over..."
If you're mad at me now and thinking all that just sounds ridiculous, well...that's because it is. I think "siege" is perhaps a loaded term that doesn't actually fit the situation.
More importantly, though, I fail to see what teachers with accents have to do with illegal immigration.
Unless it's like... magic or something. Y'know, like, "Look! Every time Teacher says 'biolet,' 500 Mexicans jump the border undetected!" I mean, I guess that
could be it - seems about as reasonable as the rest of it, anyway.
*I am, of course, just assuming they are targeting only the Spanish-speaking teachers here, so someone please do correct me if I am wrong and they are also going after anyone else that speaks English with an accent, like, say...people from Canada. Or...people from England. Or...people from Tennessee. Or...me! I speak English with an accent, too - born in Alabama, spent most of my formative years in the Pittsburgh area, so you best believe I talk funny-like, y'all. Real funny-like.
