Studies have shown that the first generation of immigrants are not as likely to learn the English language as their children. I really don't see the problem with this. And I live in Florida which has a huge immigrant population, so it's not as if I don't have to 'deal' with it. I don't have much patience for people who get hung up on having to hear or see another language throughout the course of their day, let alone have to *gasp* try to communicate with them. The horror!
As for rednecks, call them what you like, but they do exist (in the millions) which is exactly why this governor is pandering in public like a fool. Nothing like a little morning reactionary rhetoric to get the bobble-heads panting and blubbering...and voting.
