Re: Debito Arudou's April 7 Just Be Cause column " 'Golden parachutes' mark failure of race-based policy":

Once again I have to disagree with Mr. Arudou. It's not the government or the country's responsibility to give foreign workers training and language education.

If I want to work in a foreign country, I have to do my utmost to learn that language. That's my own responsibility. Mr. Arudou's "idea" has been used in Germany for years, and it is not working. The German government is spending millions of euros every year on so-called integration programs — millions that are needed elsewhere.
