I agree with this 95%. The one part I don't agree with is: " Those that don't speak English are not supposed to be in this country as residents."
There are legal residents that aren't yet citizens. Some are working on their citizenship and some may only be here on a work visa or that TPS temp protected status thing. Theoretically there could be one or 2 that are true real asylum seekers. They would need govt documents in their language just like we would in the same situation.
That said - there should NEVER be any reason for ballots to be in anything other than English in the USA. I think that is why some blue cities let everyone vote in their local elections - to get people used to allowing everyone to vote. I also agree there should be no other languages for commercials on TV or Radio. If they want to do that, put them on Telemundo.
BTW - If everyone started pressing "0" if they say press 1 for English or 8 for Spanish and the companies were forced to have an operator answer they would stop that nonsense. When the operator answers tell them you don't like pressing a number to choose our official language and to make everyone else press a number for their non-official language.
