Most hispanophones (my word) would disagree. It's not your business what language they speak at home.

No, but it becomes our business when they expect to read ballots in a language other than English, or road signs, or other necessary materials to a common public.

And having grown up on the border in the El Paso area, I disagree with you about New Mexico, Dr. I was born in 1971, and I remember New Mexico well, as my father was born and raised there. You know as well as I do that it is a fairly recent phenomenon that illegals are requesting everything be catered to them in Spanish.

Then you also know as well as I do that Spanish has been an official language of New Mexico since statehood.
