In the realm of business, no one should be force to provide translators etc. Most businesses on their own are willing to spend money on Spanish advertisements, because they know it will possibly give them access to Latino dollars. But the government demanded such and such from a business is outrageous. As far as the government providing services in many many languages (not only Spanish) ie; interpreters in court. I have no problem with that. But having voter registration and voter information in all kinds of languages other than English is ridiculous. If you can’t speak English, you shouldn’t be able to vote in this country.

California provides ballots in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese, oh sorry English if you order it early enough

You know, MARKET BASED SOLUTIONS. You want their money, you cater to that clientele. There is nothing wrong with that, but no company should be FORCED to offer services to someone who is not willing to do business in the language of the owner.

When I go to little-Mexico in the DFW area, I speak Spanish in those shops - because the owners typically speak Spanish. But, if they come to my company, they better speak English, because that’s what we speak! DUH!
