""Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (news, bio, voting record), D-Texas, lashed out at Republicans during a House hearing on the proposal, saying the effort was designed by the House majority to "derail comprehensive immigration reform and fan the flames of anti-immigrant sentiment before the election.""
Uh, no. Bush was the first to bring that up. One of the bones Rove apparently thought would satisfy the little people objecting to Bush's radical plans.

Hinojosa, who grew up in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, said he was among children who were spanked and punished for speaking Spanish in school. Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (news, bio, voting record), D-Texas
Ruben seems to have done well, why does he want to deny other children the right to learn English and become successful?

" Hispanic lawmaker said that was "code for official discrimination."
What an idiot.
If people speaking every single one of the hundreds of languages on the planet, including Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Yoruba, Ibo, Twi can come to America, and learn to speak English, why the heck can't the "wil never learn English" rabid Hispanics do the same then?
And why on earth are the kids of these illegals Hispanic suckers, getting into our schools and having tax payers pay for extra money to be spent on their Spanish speaking children?

""Rather than focus on an issue that divides this country, we should have focused on how we can help our children learn English," he said"
It's not the business of he American government, to spend money teaching illegals from Mexico how to speak English.
Learn English at your own expense if you want to, ...in Mexico, then go to college and get a highly valued skill, then apply for H1B or other visas to come work here, like people from India do.
When is this fool going to get that into his stupid head?

I wish the founding fathers had just put "English is the nation's official language" in the constitution. Of course, seeing how lawmakers treat the Second Amendment makes me think it wouldn't have done much.

Just wait for the accusers to show up here, calling everyone racists and xenophobes. Their argument in support of unrestrained immigration nonsensical so they have to call names. I don't care what country an immigrant is from, if they came illegaly, toss 'em out, if they came legally, welcome to America. And yes, I understand there is a problem with tossing all the illegals currently here out, while we work on that problem though STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGALS.

At my son's middle school, his teachers did not allow students to speak to eachother in spanish. One of his teachers told the kids, they were in America where we speak english and that was the only language acceptable in her classroom.
