Not all Mayan-language speakers are here in the US illegally--I know two who are not (one who is married to an American and is perhaps a US citizen herself by now), the other a Catholic priest who has proper documents to be in the US. They are from Chiapas, Mexico, and speak Spanish as their second language and English as their third.

One problem is that there are several Mayan languages--so even if they find a qualified interpreter, he might not speak the right language.

Thank you for the treatise on the Mayan language. Maybe this man should have said where whatever variety of it is spoken instead of my tax dollars having to pay for him to be understood.
