Well of course, and some American citizens are bilingual and others only speak Spanish, Polish, Greek, Vietnamize or a Chinese dialect. We have the right to vote because we are citizens not because of the language we speak.
This is true. However, since 1946, with some exceptions, it has been a legal requirement that one demonstrate mastery of English to become an American citizen. This requirement does not apply to everyone, but, for the most part, American citizens who cannot speak English have probably gained their citizenship through fraud.
What do I mean by fraud? I have met people who told me that, in the 90s, they demonstrated their “proficiency” in English with the help of an interpreter. That’s fraud.
So, while it’s true that many American citizens do not speak English, MOST were required to speak English in order to become citizens. Those who were legally required to learn English, did not, and still became citizens, may have gained their US citizenship under false pretenses.
Just a thought.
What's your point? That we should print bilingual ballots in all those languages and more?
