Good, it is ridiculous that this person can't communicate in the predominate language of this country AND runs for elective office.



The United States doesn't have an official language. People should be able to elect the representation they want regardless of the languages they do or don't speak.

I find it a bit hypocritical that a self professed libertarian would want to hamper the freedoms of fellow Americans by limiting the choices they have on a ballot. Especially considering another thread you've started recently.

Why do you hate liberty? Or should I ask why do you hate brown people?

If you can't speak English well enough to pass a basic proficiency test, odds are you are not a legal resident. Are there legal residents who can't pass a basic English speaking proficiency test? Sure but I would put that at a very low percentage in the class.

If you can't work well enough in the language that the vast majority speak...why should I have to pay for someone to interpret for you? Go take a few classes, get a *BASIC* working grasp of English and run for office.

Our government business is conducted in English. This is not a complicated issue to understand.

She's not running for national office. She's running for city council of a city near the Mexican border. I'm sure she's more than able to communicate with the people she'd be representing.

Why do they deserve to be denied a choice because of the language spoken? Are they somehow less entitled to choose their representation than English speakers?

Also, there are vetting processes to determine whether or not someone is here legally. Making assumptions based on the language they speak is dumb, and unnecessary.
