How stupid are they?

I dont approve of the way it was done, but I support the legislation.

Andrew Schneider, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia, said English-only laws are based on the false premise that immigrants will not learn English without government coercion.

It makes no difference why they learn it, as long as they learn it. Why should the taxpayers have to pay for additional forms in other languages, translators, more money for bilingual reps, etc?

"And English-only laws do nothing constructive to increase English proficiency. They simply discriminate and punish those who have not yet learned English," Schneider said.

oooh darn. Just like when you go to another country and all their official documents are in their languages. I'm tired of catering to people who can't be assed to learn the native tongue.
