So Trump is assuming that if a person is more comfortable understanding a language other than English it must mean they are voting illegally? That is quite a stretch.

No it just means the USA is under absolutely no obligation to cater to the fact that you don’t speaka our language. Let me know if you need to know what 2+2 is.

If you want to live in the United States, learn the language. If I wanted to move to France, I would learn French.

It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with assimilation into the American culture. They need to learn the F**KING language!

Isn’t it a requirement of citizenship to be able to read and write English? Mustn’t one be a citizen to vote?

Ummm - they take the oath of citizenship in English - it they don’t understand it, then they aren’t qualified to vote.

It’s a well founded assumption.

A requirement for citizenship:

“ Basic Skills: You must show the ability to speak, read, write, and understand basic English words and phrases in ordinary usage.”
