Let me get this straight. We have criminals who invaded our country and who are protesting in mass for rights. And, our president is pleased that they are expressing discontent democratically and is pleased that they at least are not rioting.

I hope we can please him as well by our absence on election day (or 3rd party votes)

The greatest offense I've seen of people hearing the bilingual debate are immigrants who've learned English. An Indian who learned English is more than a little miffed when told HE has to learn spanish. Why? If Indians and Chinese and Russians and Nigerians learn English in their schools, why not Hispanics here in the US?
If Hispanics are too special to be bothered by bilingualism, then they are dangerously close to bother with any other form of equality. If Hispanics are incapable of being bilingual, then we should import tri-lingual Indians first.
