AND you can't vote, if you can't speak or write in English!!

So all you f*&^ing idiots out there who like to say that ‘English first’ is some evil Conservative plot to interfere with the cultural heritage of naturalized Americans, can p^%$ off!!!!

My grandparents, had to learn English and at least enough to READ so they could VOTE their OWN choice. They did this because their alternative was deportation. No tickie/no laundry!!!!

America had the ‘literacy’ requirement because if immigrants remained illiterate, they would be the prey of unscrupulous politicians or groups who would only exploit them for their vote! SMART IDEA!!!
