My two cents worth: ENGLISH only - otherwise stay out. This political correctness garbage has got to go. In order to vote in this country you must be a citizen. In order to be a citizen in this country you must speak English. ‘nuff said. Dual language ballots, etc., just costs extra money and must stop. Why do we do these things?

You do understand Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, right? That's been so since 1917.

I know that most of my fellow U.S. citizens are not considered erudites in geography and lots don't know anything about politics beyond what they hear on Fox News, but are you people aware that those of us born in Puerto Rico have been FULL-FLEDGED U.S. CITIZENS SINCE 1917? Nobody asked me if I could speak English when I was BORN a U.S. Citizen, so somehow that logic of English being a requirement for citizenship fails miserably. Also, I have traveled all over the U.S. and, trust me, some of what “passes” for English in some parts of this Country makes “non-English speaking Puerto Ricans” sound like Sir Lawrence Olivier by comparison! Did any of you ever hear Strom Thurmond speak? And if so, where you able to make out A SINGLE WORD THAT HE SAID???? The point is, Congress can “require” whatever they want, but how are they going to ENFORCE IT???? Will the Statehood ballot include a reading comprehension test and a few essay questions like the SAT??? REALLY?????? Oh, and by the way, I don't think that anybody has to “portray Conservatives as anti-Latino”, because Conservatives are doing a very good job at that themselves!
