We respond to all of our constituents. We respond to them however we need to respond to them. orally or in writing. and we do it in Spanish. We do that. and guess what? I do not intend to ever stop doing that. I do not care what law is passed. The supporters of this bill claim to want everyone to learn to speak English. Yet they support the defunding of bilingual education while millions of immigrants are on waiting lists to learn Spanish. This bill deserves to be defeated in every language. I ask my colleagues for a "no" vote.
