About 20 percent of California residents cannot speak English proficiently

He should've included Asians also in his book.Anyone who lives in the other 49 states would be stunned at the amount of Asians who have migrated to Calif. in the last 20 years.(most speak limited 'if any' english)

"Making English the official language of the United States government will get the melting pot working again".

That is a nice dream,but that is never going to happen, it's too late and it's simply out of the question. No politician is going to alienate his voting base and vote for that,though they should.Spanish people are the majority in the county of Los Angeles,so says our 2000 Census.White people are a minority in L.A.now,who would've ever thought?Wait until the spanish people here, recognize the power of their vote in the future Local and National elections.

I thought a Census only took down names and children's names. Does a census also tell you if they are registered voters?

Or does anyone off the street get to walk into a booth and vote?
