http://facebook.com/StandWithArizona Bravo! TX State Sen. Chris Harris (R-Arlington) spoke for many Americans when he interrupted the Spanish-language testimony of a citizen of 23 years against the Sanctuary Cities ban (SB9), to say it was "insulting" for the man not to speak English. This goes right to the heart of everything that is wrong with those who advocate for illegals and La Raza. The seperatism. The sense of entitlement. The contempt for our common language that prior immigrants always hurried to adopt. God bless you Sen. Harris for speaking for all of us!

DETAILS: During committee testimony this week in Austin, a Texas senator interrupted a Spanish speaker and telling him he should "be speaking in English" during a committee hearing.

Antolin Aguirre of the Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition was testifying against Senate Bill 9 that would help crack down on illegal immigrants in Texas. Aguirre spoke through an interpreter even though he had been in the U.S. since 1988.

Two minutes into Antolin Aguirre's testimony, Sen. Chris Harris, a Republican from Arlington, interrupted asking Aguirre's interrupter, "Did I understand him correctly that he has been here since 1988?" Harris asked. "Why aren't you speaking in English then?"

  • LMFAO People are mistaking racism for law. For you to have a job in the U.S. you HAVE to speak english. It's not a choice and to all the people saying "well white people took land from the native americans" Your talking about 2 completely different things.

  • @mikemay777 THANK YOU!! I live in Los Angeles, a close relative works for the Los Angeles Unified School District. The Illegal Immigrant population from Mexico here is SKYYROCKETING and the MAYOR of this city is a former UCLA former Socialist President ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA, who is aiding and abbetting the problem. LA is now a "sanctuary" city and the President of the Unified School District is Monica Garcia also a pro raza mover. WE hear time and time again they are using us to make children..

  • I will kill absolutely everyone in the entire fucking world, and with my own blood I will scrawl hNKWISYPdZ4 above every single victim, and when people figure out what it means, they will forgive me.

  • @UlisesZ1986 I do. As a matter of fact i give 3 fucks and a shit. Go back to where you came from if you dont like it.

  • @UlisesZ1986 "Who gives a fuck if he doesn't speak English?"

    Who gives a damn what a Mexican national like you thinks, pachuco? You really should keep your damned mouth shut about the internal affairs of this country, and spend your time trying to fix that sewer you live in.

  • @royaladam German my ass. Pinche Chicacano de mierda! Lamehuevos de los gringos.

  • Who gives a fuck if he doesn't speak English? He's a law-abiding citizen and pays his taxes just like any other citizen, so he doesn't have an obligation to speak English. He's not a burden on the U.S. In fact, his state and federal taxes are paying for the translator service offered in court. When English becomes the official language of the U.S., then you can criticize him. As long as a person isn't living off of the government(your taxes), you have no right to demand anything from them.

  • and learn history you ignorant wetbacks.

  • toss these savag cockroaches OUT of MY country. Come here LEGALLY or stay the fuck in your 3rd world shit hole county
