Agree 100%.

To one and all, there is one part of government (Federal & State) that only deals / writes in ENGLISH ONLY, that would be the courts to the best of my knowledge. I think (if memory serve's me well, from reading an article in the Federal Bar association) in the U.S. Federal courts in Puerto Rico, you have to file a motion I believe in Spanish, to be able to file them then in English. If I'm wrong about this, please do comment.

If someone reading this has any knowledge about the State of New Mexico, whether or not the courts there accept filings in Spanish, could please comment.

I left So Calif 25 years ago.

I remember that ballots & election pamphlets were printed in over 68 languages & dialects.

Travesty.

"The Republic reported that 10 of Arizona’s 15 countries are required to provide materials in languages other than English,..."

"Countries?" Little slip 'o the tongue there on the part of the author...or slip of the keyboard. Gaynor is right, of course. The official language of the U.S.A. is English, and beyond the many other unnecessary and detrimental costs, officious uses of other languages amount to a serious national security risk for the near future.

Just think how different this country would be now if English First had been adopted. The public schools alone would have benefitted imensely. . . not to mention the taxpayer.

We have that Spanish carpola on the ballot in GA. This year they were handing out stickers to wear afterwards that said “,I voted”. Then underneath “,yo vote,” I refused to take one.

My advice from behind enemy lines would be, stop it, reverse it!

Anyway you can, stop the endless pandering and prizes to foreign nationals/illegals. If not, the prizes and pandering it will never end and will reach a point where the legitimate citizens will become second class undesirables who will be forced into subsidizing millions of these people. I wish I were joking.

Leftist socialist took the crown jewel of America and trashed it, literally flooded it with millions of foreign nationals and illegal aliens to the point where legitimate citizens are outnumbered and outvoted all while being forced to pay for their replacements.

My understanding is that the Federal govt has mandated that if you have more than a certain percentage of Spanish speakers on the rolls you have to print ballots in bilingual. That’s what the state is telling us. I’m like it they can’t speak English what are the chances they are legal to vote?
