Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico. also a Democrat and a Hispanic. agrees. He appeared on the CBS "Early Show" with me on Monday morning. We were talking about the day without immigrants. After I explained my view on singing the national anthem in English and talked about this resolution. here is what Governor Richardson had to say: Well. I agree. The national anthem should be in English. And I believe that. again. most immigrants want to become Americans. They want to learn English. They want to be part of the American mainstream. They wear NFL jerseys. They want to be American. So I dont believe that view that immigrants want to learn the anthem In Spanish is accurate. I think that was a side show. But. definitely our anthem is English.
