Here’s another question. How does somebody who doesn’t speak English get to vote? You have to be a citizen to vote, and you have to be able to speak English to become a citizen. I can understand not being able to read all the ballot stuff in English, but this guy doesn’t even speak English.
How does somebody who doesn’t speak English get to vote?

Two words: Puerto Rico.
Originally Spanish language ballots were provided because there are Spanish only speakers who are US citizens by virtue of Puerto Rico being a US territory.

He could've been born here. There was a long time English emersion for ESL students was forbidden. Even now it can be circumvented.

You don't have to speak English in order to become a citizen by birth.
He could have been born in the US and raised in a community that spoke Spanish.
He could have been born in the US and had his family move to Mexico when he was still a baby, and then moved back later.
He could have been born to at least one US parent in a Spanish speaking country and only moved to the United States later.
It is true that if you were not born an American citizen that you cannot become one without learning English, but that doesn't mean you have to speak English in order to be an American citizen.
Thanks for asking this question. You took the words right out of my mouth. I don’t understand how someone that doesn’t speek any english can vote.
