He and I have spoken in the well here on the floor about this issue. I am trying. as he is. to understand this issue from anothers point of view because I am a lucky person. My mother was an immigrant to this country. When her parents came to this country from Lithuania. they did not speak English. My mother spoke both Lithuanian and English. and as a young girl was an interpreter in court so immigrant families could have justice even if they didnt understand English very well. My mother spoke both languages. but I speak only English. The Spanish language has become an important symbol for so many people in this country.
