They can they just chose not to do so because they are attempting to secure the Hispanic vote. Whether you or anyone else likes it or not, we are a bilingual country.

We are not a bilingual country.

I DON'T CONSIDER anyone who is hostile to American culture, and against learning English American.

There is only one flag & one language.

We're the salad bowl now, full of multi-cultured people in a global environment.

Embrace and tolerate. Learn Spanish so you don't feel left out.
Globalism is alive and well and working its way into American life.
If you don't see it you are blind.

Actually we're not. Until Puerto Rico becomes a state, we're not a bilingual country. This is clearly an effort to pander to voting relatives and friends of illegal aliens, nothing more.

Because the Democrats are a bunch of racists and they long for the US to become the northern extension of Mexico

Actually we are a country that has no official language. No language is mentioned in the Constitution, nor is there a federal law to that effect.

As to the illegal aliens comment, not all 50 million Hispanics have relatives who are illegal. Plenty of Hispanics on the West Coast and Midwest have been here for generations.

I purposely speak Castilean Spanish (that which is spoken in Spain) to **** off the Hispanics here. It is a great insult to them and a discreet way to undermine them.

You make ads that speak(no pun intended) to the audience that you are targeting. Bemoaning the state of the audience is irrelevant.

You feel a need to undermine your neighbors? Nice.
