Or do you not think communicating a message to Spanish speakers should be allowed?

But what about the viewers who only speak German, or Vietnamese, or Italian, or Russian, or Portugese, or Korean, or Turkish, etc. Perhaps Martinez's speech should have been translated into dozens of other languages so as to not let anybody who was watching the speech feel that they were being disregarded or discriminated against just because they don't understand Spanish.

See 148. If a Senator wanted to use his speech to address them from the Senate floor in their first (or only) language, that's fine with me. I think it's nice that someone would think to give that attention from time to time.

He wasn't speaking to us Anglos. He was subtly letting the Hispanic community know which party considers each citizen upon his or her own merit and which party considers each Hispanic to be a member of a serville class, to be hired as house servants but who should never present themselves to the United States Senate.
