Sorry, you’re wrong. I am the former deputy director of the National Indian Health Board and the former executive director of the Phoenix Area Indian Health Board. The former had responsibilities nationwide, the latter, in four states, Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada. I myself am a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma. I spent much time in the cities and outbacks of Arizona. I ran across many who do not speak English. In fact, I took our board members to dinner in the little Mexican town of San Luis. (The board was meeting in Yuma.) We had trouble getting back across the board into the U.S. because the WIFE of our president didn’t speak English, and another family member of another family didn’t. When I went to meet in small reservation communities, I often had to take an interpreter with me. And several of these little communities were within four or five miles of a U.S. or state highway or interstate.
In that case you should have some proof that many Native Americans/Indians don't speak English, there would have to be reports out there documenting that. Through my own experiences I find it real hard to believe.
Not speaking English will not be used as the only critera in any case and I am sure you know that- whether you choose to admit it or not.
I realize it is really hard to defend the position of not enforcing laws against illegal immigration- but using Native Americans as an excuse is pretty lame.
How is it allowed that anyone educted in the United States not learn English ?
Another reason why we need to make English the official language.
