If we give people concessions then should we allow people who are afflicted with dwarfism to drive forklifts? Is it a violation of their rights if we don't hire them because they are physically unable to operate the machines or should every employer be forced to purchase specially built forklifts for this case?
I propose that we don't give concessions to people with disabilities when it is unsafe to do so.
Is it unsafe to drive without being able to communicate in the lingua franca? If not then why should we restrict people who cannot?
If so then we should restrict everyone who cannot since otherwise people would be at risk. That would include:
1) People who live in the country but speak other languages
2) People who are speech or hearing impaired
3) Tourists
Again, I don't see the correlation. If you can physically speak English, you should have to in those circumstances. If you can't, that's another story. I don't see the use of bringing people with disabilities into the discussion. That's a separate matter.
We should restrict people who cannot communicate in English because it's an easily avoidable situation. If people with those disabilities could speak English, I'm sure they'd love to. It's a question of being sensible. Obviously, if you can't physically speak the language, it's not your fault and shouldn't be held against you. If you can, but you choose not to, then it's your fault and can beheld against you.
It's the difference between self-defense murder and premeditated murder. One you can help, but you don't. The other, you can't help. That's why the first one is completely illegal, and the second is not necessarily.
