So, he spoke in Spanish. What is the big deal?

Is there a law against it?

As long as the guy obeys the laws of the land and pays his taxes, who cares what language he speaks?

I don't.

Millions of Italians, Jews, Eastern Europeans, Russians, etc., have come here and done ok for themselves and others without ever speaking English.

Who cares?

It doesn't bother me if he's speaking spanish with family or friends but before the Texas senate speak in English if you've been here over 20 years.

As long as he got the message across I don't care if he spoke in Martian, the need of this Texas Senator to interrupt his testimony says much more about the "good Senator" than anyone else, and speaks to the underlying racism that is in play here.

Man doesn't sound like a moron, there is no official language in the US so no rule that he had to testify in English, I fail to see the Senator's problem, how was this "insulting"? Is he saying that only English speaking Americans have a right to be heard by their elected officials? Perhaps they also must be of a certain religion, color etc...

he's probably smarter than you dell.. I didnt realize speaking spanish makes you a moron.

his kids are bilingual and his grandchildren won't speak spanish unless they take it at school. that's how immigration works.

the doltitude of the english only crowd is like a 7.5 to the birther's 10.

but they're doing the lords work. without them as republican scarecrows a large portion of the family oriented conservative hispanic vote might not feel obligated to vote democratic.

weiner resigns and dell posts this. it was a good two days for dt democrats.

Speaking espanol doesn't make you a moron.

Speaking it to a primarily english-only understanding crowd while possessing the ability to speak english makes you a moron. Especially when you consider the point he was trying to make.
