State legislators in Indiana and Minnesota are pushing laws requiring public documents and other government business in those states to be done only in English.
Minnesota state Senators introduced their bill on Monday; the measure is similar to one introduced in the state House earlier this month.

Next the bill heads to the state Senate. Like Minnesota, Indiana’s measure allows exceptions to the English-only rule in cases of public health or safety situations.

There's more to this than just the touchy-feely stuff about 'multi-culturalism' and making immigrants feel welcome.
ReplyDeleteProviding documents and requiring qualified translators for multiple languages (yes, even for some muong tribesman from Laos here illegally) is EXPENSIVE.
Tax dollars, not Santa Claus money.
If you come here, learn the language and be prepared to speak it and write it in your dealings.
I hope it passes & then maybe Maryland will follow along.
