I'm from texas and hear we all speak a little Spanish, mainly out of respect for the fact we have so many hispanics that live here, it's common courtsey to an e xtent.
I would agree that no one should have to learn English; but why then should I, the tax payer, be forced to fund foreign language ballots, school teachers, translators, etc. in my own country?

And btw, I happen to be semi-literate in Spanish.
