What do you think about some CITIZENS suing our gov't,
DEMANDING agencies, entities, provide all services, ballots
,paperwork, and translators in PIG LATIN.

Either that or sue the gov't demanding FREE spanish lessons
for ALL citizens.

Maybe then they would make english the "official language".

Can you imagine having an injured, bleeding child and you call 911 and get that recorded message giving you all kinds of options to press? Actually what these people want are only fluent Spanish speakers answering those calls, they don't believe they must speak English fluently ----very very few people are fluent in both languages ---so it must be Spanish they speak.

A preponderance of third world nations not only have a national language, but must have in order to survive as a nation. It is necessary so their own citizens can talk with one another, serve together in the military, converse with diplomats of other nations, survive in the court/legal systems, and do business with other nations.

French is the national language of the Congo (a former Belgium colony) and Djibouti (a former French colony). Some other countries in Africa use English, while nations in Central and South Americas, with a preponderance of Indian tribes in their populations, use either Spanish or Portugese.

It is about time the United States established English as the national language, if only to keep state and local governments from going broke over the ever escalating translation costs.
