Romney Supports Puerto Rican Statehood

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich both spoke at the Hispanic Leadership Network in Miami on Friday morning. Puerto Rican statehood was an important issue to some in the audience and it was brought for the speakers to opine.

Gingrich favored Puerto Rican statehood when he was Speaker as part of his blossoming hispander self, and that [...]

Canada Bilingualism Discriminates against English Speakers

Bilingualism with a legal underpinning as it exists in Canada is a disastrous policy and America should avoid it at all costs. Unfortunately, we seem headed inexorably in that direction due to the Mexican invasion, er immigration. America does not have official bilingualism (where people have to speak both perfectly) although in some regions a [...]

NPR Tries to Normalize a Bilingual (aka Spanish-speaking) America

National Public Radio remains one of the top liberal propagandists for open borders and a Mexicanized diversity in America. While the elite New York Times reached around 1.3 million readers for its Sunday edition as of a year ago, NPR’s top shows have a listenership of up to 13 million weekly. NPR is very influential [...]

English-Speaking Americans Suffer Discrimination for Jobs

Add “bilingual” preference on the part of business to the increasing ways that Americans face unfair treatment in our own nation. More and more, citizens are expected to know the language of the invader while Spanish speakers do not need to speak English.

We already pay for translations of official documents into various languages for the [...]

Multilingual Ballots Opposed

Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) says he wants to end the federal bilingual ballot requirement.

Actually, he should oppose multilingual ballots, because here in uber-diverse California, some counties are forced by Washington to produce election materials in several languages. Federal law required Los Angeles County to provide ballots and materials in six languages as of 2005.

Furthermore, language [...]

Rasmussen Poll: Majority of Voters Prefer English-Only Ballots

It’s disappointing that only 58 percent of Americans believe that ballots should be English-only, a decrease of 10 points from five years ago.

Language diversity in elections does not come cheap because of translation and printing costs. For example, Los Angeles County spent $3.3 million to produce ballots in seven languages and hire diverse poll workers [...]

Los Angeles Catholic Diocese Promotes Bilingualism, Not Assimilation

In former Governor Richard Lamm’s ironic opinion piece, “I have a plan to destroy America”, item #1 on his list of sabotage actions is to make the country bilingual:

We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages [...]

Medical Interpreters Are an Entitlement for Immigrants

At a time when astronomical budget deficits have made fiscally responsible leaders warn citizens of necessary belt-tightening ahead, immigrants are about to receive improvements to a little discussed entitlement on the backs of American taxpayers and health insurance purchasers.

Every non-English-speaker is already entitled to a skilled interpreter as a right, piled on the already explosive [...]

Nashville Experiences Language Diversity in Schools

This story is a reminder that every state is a border state now. In Nashville, the traditional home of country music, 22 percent of the city’s K-12 students are English learners. Overwhelmed California has only slightly more, at 24 percent.

In addition, Nashville has had a problem with violent Kurdish gangs, as I wrote in 2007: [...]

Rasmussen Poll: Majority of Voters Reject Language Diversity on Ballots

In order to become a naturalized American citizen, a foreigner must demonstrate the ability to understand and use English. Nevertheless, liberals managed to poison the Voting Rights Act with a requirement to provide translations of ballots when the foreign language group in a jurisdiction reaches a certain level.

Most Americans don’t like language diversity, such as [...]

Arizona: Mandatory Multilingualism Not Required for Businesses

Arizona is renewing my faith in elected representatives — that they need not be insanely cruel toward citizens. The state is legislating impressively common-sense ideas, such as enforcing immigration laws more stringently and prohibiting schools from teaching Raza racist treason.

Now it is relieving businesses from any requirement (real or imagined) that they provide translators for [...]

Vietnamese Translators Sought for Gulf Oil Spill

How long have Vietnamese been residing in the United States? It’s been more than 30 years since the fall of Saigon and the influx of more than a million refugees.

But the most basic act of assimilation, namely learning English, seems to have eluded many.

We learn this only because Vietnamese fishermen in the Gulf are complaining [...]
