Obama’s Department of Justice has ordered Colorado to protect the interests of “language minority populations” by strengthening a Court Interpreter Oversight Committee that assures immigrants who don’t speak English get free translators.
The new DOJ mandate also applies to civil cases, which means that U.S. taxpayers will fund interpreting services for foreigners who may stand to make settlement money. Under the agreement, announced this week, the Colorado Judicial Department will also develop “state and local language access plans” that address “both oral interpretation and the translation of vital written documents.”
A revitalized state Court Interpreter Oversight Committee will be expanded to include an attorney, prosecutor, public defender and an “advocate” representing the interests of the “language minority populations,” according to the DOJ’s order.
Interpreters have always been provided in criminal cases and in civil cases in which litigants were indigent. The new DOJ accord mandates free access to “timely and competent language assistance” for all “limited English proficient individuals” in all cases. This won’t come cheap. Colorado’s court system already spends nearly $4 million on 25 full-time interpreters and 300 contractors who provide services in 75 different languages.
The assistant attorney general that President Obama appointed to run the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division (Thomas Perez) says it’s essential because “justice cannot be served without access and effective communication.” Perez is a known open-borders advocate who served on the board of a controversial, taxpayer-funded day laborer center (Casa de Maryland) that assists illegal immigrants.
Last year Perez lied to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to cover up that political leadership was involved in the dismissal of the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party. Judicial Watch obtained records that prove top political appointees were intimately involved in the decision to drop charges against the radical black revolutionary group for bullying voters with racial insults, profanity and weapons during the 2008 presidential election.
A former Maryland Labor Secretary, Perez has made a number of controversial moves at the DOJ to protect illegal immigrants and minorities in general. Last fall he sued a public college system for discrimination because it requires job applicants to furnish proof of residency before getting hired and earlier this year he launched an initiative to eliminate written tests that discriminate against minorities in the workplace.
I can’t find the Overton window where I left it last...
Acadian French, Pennsylvania German, pre-Republic Texan and Californian Spanish, Western Carolina Irish Gaelic, New York Dutch, Delaware Swedish, American Indian languages - is that what he means?
We must have an amendment to the U.S.Constitution making English the official language of the United States.
This will not affect the liberty to use other languages. Newspapers, books, broadcast media in languages other than English will continue.
It will only mandate the use of English in all government offices and departments, including the courts, the military and for official business. If translators are needed, the private party pays for the services, NOT THE GOVERNMENT!
Those 12 million or so illegal voters look awful good to Obama.
Especially the ones who don't speak English.
I am sure he doesn’t mean Sa’ami. That’s because he’s a filthy racist pig.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Since when does the Federal Justice Department issues orders to the States? Why have States? Abolish them. Or, tell the Justice Defartment to take a flying you know what.
The tsunami of evil gets higher as it approaches shore. That’s all I can think.
Legislation from the bench? War by Executive Order? Is this America? Or is this Amerika?
I hear you.
Perez, his boss Holder and The Won want to protect the civil rights of illegals who shouldn’t have any civil rights being they’re here illegally.
All three of the turkeys are liars, in fact Perez should have been prosecuted for perjury in his testimony to the USCCR. Instead he and his boss are the top law enforcement people in the country, it’s outrageous.
Well, the other day the US Department of Agriculture started an aggressive pro-homo agenda program that they want to spread to all US departments of whatever. I can post links if you want. One of their thrusts if you can pardon the expression is that thinking that marriage is for a man and a woman is just as evil as racism.
Our tax money put to use.
Where will they find interpreters who can speak Austrian?
It sure isn’t the America we grew up in, these turkeys pick and choose laws to enforce and ignore.
How about Bob Dylan?
“How about Bob Dylan?”
Haha, that’s assuming an interpreter could be found.
why should we??? tell their respective embassy that they have to cough one up...
They can no longer hide the fact they harbor deep seated hatred for whites.
They are determined to destroy the white majority and what they see as the white dominated culture. They see America itself and the constitution as part of that culture so they have to go too. The same for free enterprise and what little is left of the free market economy.
We might survive and rebuild if we get them out at the end of this term but another Obama term will be our death knell. The scary thing is that the idiots who elected Obama and support him will still be out there, voting and reproducing and indoctrinating another generation.
