I made it in the case of some of my Latino tenants.

I confirmed it by googling the topic. People everywhere feign such ignorance when it suits them. "Solly, me no speakee Engliss."

“I confirmed it by googling...”

Just make English the official language of the US

The Constitution says NO.

Google does not give you actual experience.

Isn't that what formal education is; vicarious experience? And isn't it rewarded before the student attains actual experience? Also the more general experience you have the more you can relate to the experiences of others.

The Constitution says NO.

No it does not in fact there is absolutely no mention of language in the Constitution so we could certainly use the amendment process and make it so.

Try reading the First Amendment.

Try reading the First Amendment.

That has nothing to do with an official language for the country whatsoever.

Despite what many people seem to think (and not a few here have said), native Spanish speakers in the US do not "refuse" or are disinterested in learning English. No one knows the crucial importance of learning English than non-native English speakers in the US.

"Google" (Bing), specifically YouTube videos, can lead you to actual experience. I screwed up the spindle on my big JET drill press and got the instructions on how to fix it there. Here is the actual video I studied.
