I would like to clarify a point which might seem obvious. but in reviewing my mail on the subject. apparently is not. The 5 percent minority language trigger applies only to voting age citizens. Many of my constituents are concerned that we are somehow accommodating illegal aliens or recent immigrants. Many people apparently do not know that there are American citizens who were born in this country and in some cases whose families have been here for generations who do not speak English. The reason why these people are in this situation is central to the issue itself. and I shall address that later in my remarks.
