He just doesn’t get it.
....Bush is never more passionate than when hes talking about immigration and biculturalism...
Well, at least he gets excited about something.
I think Jeb’ mouth is his biggest enemy.
Press dos for Español.
Not a thing when your in Spain. It is rude when in Germany and it is revolutionary when your being invaded by Mexico.
Advice to the Donald: ignore Jeb Bush.
I agree with you. I think we should encourage Jeb to speak ONLY in Spanish. How many of us native English-speakers are listening to him anyway?
Trump got under Jeb’s skin on this and Jeb can’t let it go even though the more he talks about it the more he hurts himself.
But when you are publicly campaigning for an elected U.S. state or federal office, or when you are functioning as a U.S. state or federal government official, then ENGLISH is the language you should be speaking.
Damned good answer.
Here's another one: Gov. Bush, to be a voter you need to be a citizen. To be a citizen you either need to be born here or, if not, you need to pass some tests - among which is one in English. Therefore, if someone cannot speak English, chances are that they are not a voter...so why would you be speaking to them, as a candidate.
Jeb’s Spanish is very wooden.
But it’s the pandering which is most annoying and embarrassing.
Immigrants should be assimilating into the US. And elected officials should be encouraging assimilation.
When immigrants refuse to assimilate and refuse to come here legally, it is only natural that a backlash would result.
Agreed. We are an English speaking nation.
I just returned from S America....not a thing wrong with speaking Spanish.....there LOL
What’s wrong with speaking Spanish? Uhhh, how about that you’re disrespecting the large majority of Americans who don’t speak Spanish?, those same Americans whose vote you’re asking for while at the same time, totally disrespecting them. What a tone deaf moron!
It is called “Enabling Illegal Aliens”. Legal aliens must speak English.
RE: I just returned from S America....not a thing wrong with speaking Spanish.....there LOL
Ahhh, but what’s wrong with speaking ENGLISH there?
The language of business in America, and the language of law in America, is English.
The national citizenship test for legal immigrants desiring naturalization is in English.
ALL the other ‘international tongues’ are second rate.
Ebonics is second rate.
Any political elected representative at any level that speaks to me in any other language, including Pig Latin, has got something to hide.
