If you speak one language and I speak another and we need to communicate. either I must learn your language or you must learn mine. If I decide not to learn your language and you decide not to learn mine. we have established a barrier to communication by which both our cultures are impoverished. Throughout our history our Nation has been enriched because our immigrants have eliminated communications barriers with the use of a common languageEnglish. With the use of bilingual ballots. however. we are saying to our nonEnglishspeaking citizens that they can fully participate in the political process without overcoming the language barrier. That simply is not true.
