Tancredo Takes a Logical Stance

From Digger’s realm:

Tom hits it right on the head when he brings up the fact that to become a US citizen you must speak and read English. In other words, every US citizen is required to know and understand English. This leads into the fact that only citizens can vote. Which of course leads back to the logical conclusion that if you can vote then you are a citizen which means you speak English.

Thus making a debate in Spanish a questionable exercise that tends towards bi-lingualism, rather than affirming the centrality of the English language. For those candidates who do back making English the official language, the appearance in the Univision debate is awkward (at best.)
