In contrast, the 2012 version of the document included the need for comprehensive immigration reform, but specified undocumented immigrants should “get right with the law, learn English, and pay taxes in order to get on a path to earn citizenship.”
The 2008 Democratic Party platform was even more firm on requirements for citizenships, stating: “We support a system that requires undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, pay taxes, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.”
These recommendations are unpopular with Hispanics and immigrant-rights groups at a time when the Democratic Party needs the Hispanic vote, widely perceived as crucial for key swing states such as Colorado, Nevada and Florida.

Democrats really should rename their party to Dumbocrats. Learning English is just as much a help to immigrants as it is for others in the communities they live. Why? Because if they can't speak English how will they know how to ask where the transgender bathrooms are?
democrats changing their views to gather votes is like the tide going in and out same sh-t,different day hopefully the american people will wake up before the next election
