New Mexico was able to transition to mostly-English speaking.

It’s NOT impossible.

Just have PR do English in the elementary schools.

We have a big enough challenge keeping English in our OWN schools (lookin' at you, California).

The world was very different in the 19th century, when New Mexico became part of the U.S. after the Mexican War. Yes, they transitioned to English there. But it may not be so easy to do transitions like that in our politically correct world today.

It IS impossible now, given current PC dictums. Why do you think that Dems may get 70% of Hispanic votes in 2012? Juan tried pandering to them big time in ‘08. Bringing in PR, *without* them first wanting to become Americans, is insanity. BTW, they should receive NO delegates. Bob
