Remember, one of the Contract with America items was to make English the official language. That was probably the last chance to get it done. Now it’s too late l fear.

This would be more grounds for impeachment, if only maxine waters could speak Spanish; English gives her enough trouble.

Borders, language, culture.

Exactly.

It is essential and as simple as that.
