This is not pandering. Until we make English the official language, why not do a response in Spanish? How many illegals voted? Our country is broken, he’s trying to attract those people. We might not like it, but, it is reality.
You're right, I don't like it one bit. Indeed, you're quite correct, English is not America's official language but it's the default language of our country. I think Tim James of Alabama was right in every way.
In my opinion, what it comes down to is this: If a Mexican (or other Latino) won't bother to assimilate by learning the defacto language of America, how can we be sure they'll embrace other aspects of our values and culture?
I'll freely admit to being a traditionalist and, truth be told, intolerant. But I want to see America go back to the country I so fondly remember when there was no "press 1 for English" messages and I could turn on any television station and understand every word without half of them being in a foreign language. And, respectfully, that's why I perceive as pandering what Marco Rubio plans for tonight.
