How are you able to carry on under such adversity? I am sorry to hear you are so oppressed.

Who says he has anything against Spanish? He just doesn't want this to become a majority Spanish-speaking country, which would put native-born English-speaking citizens at a disadvantage - particularly employment. Why should native-born Americans have to be put at a disadvantage because of immigrants refusing to learn the majority language of their adopted country?

I also see no reason to print ballots that are in English and Spanish. I mean really, would it be that hard for a Spanish-speaking immigrant to figure out that "President: Biden or Trump" is the same thing as "Presidente: Biden or Trump"?

It's nothing but virtue-signaling. And besides, are foreign-born American citizens required to have some mastery of English before they are awarded citizenship?

Good chance we’ll need to learn Chinese before that though.
And besides, English is a racist language anyway. Should be cancelled.
Espanol en los Estados Unidos? Que? Esta impossible.....oh no, they got to me and I hadn't even noticed!

That's it, no more coronas with lime.

Is this trend going to slow down or ramp up?
Gonna ramp up like crazy. FL already is a new Cuba.

This was, believe it or not, already an issue 40 years ago, when I was a teen! I boarded a Miami bus and asked the driver, in English of course, about the stop I needed. He answered me in Spanish and REFUSED to speak English.

This was a city bus and city employee, paid for by tax dollars. Yet a native-born American girl had to get off at the wrong stop because the city employee refused to speak English.

This ^^
It’s the “racist” fear-mongering from the Dems that keeps us from doing this.

Ive traveled overseas before where I was not given the option to select English and therefore I had to figure it out on my own real quick if I wanted to get by. I dont go to other countries expecting them to cater to me and I dont think our country should either. Enabling allows laziness.
