Brand new citizens IE naturalized citizens have to pass a english comprehension test before they can even become naturalized citizens. So the idea that a brand new citizen can not understand english is laughable and absurd.
I didn't realize there was a law that they had to speak it forever. Also...
We should also add the provision that any text that is intended for public consumption (i.e. descriptions of issues on ballots, etc.) should be written in common English that the average person only needs to read once to understand.
Apparently english speakers dont even understand the ballots or something.
So how can a citizen by birth, having gone to school and learned English as their primary language, having grown up in a country where English is the primary and common language, be more comfortable reading in Spanish?
I obviously lack some information that would lead to my understanding why the situation is as you claim.
Precisely, you're not latino.
