OK—One more time—The Treaty of Guadlupe Hidalgo signed in 1848 that secceed Northern Mexico to the USA (for a mere $15 Million Dollars) states that A) All Mexican nations who elected to stay in the territory should be granted citizenship in the USA (by signing a loyalty oath) B) all signage, newspapers, documents should be in English and Spanish. So Spanish signs are just living up to the treaty, what I don’t like is when there is just Spanish with no English. Or dumb bi-lingual signs like: Dentist and Dentisto. I believe all Spanish TV stations should be Captioned in English as well—I might even watch them if they were! That Telenovella on Zorro looked interesting.
Next to no knowledge of Mexican War and annexation.
But since when? Are you saying all these years MD has violated this treaty, and apparently all of the Fed government as well failed to live up to this?
If so, I don’t care; it is nonsense to expect all that.
I looked into this a bit. Not only did I not see mention of bilingualism in Wiki, but I ran into an article on USEnglish discussing this. Apparently it was made up out of whole cloth. The Treaty does not say any such thing.
If it did, I would suspect it would be applying to the territories in question and the residents at the time of annexation.
