Kudos To A Texas State Senator

From Fox News: A Texas state senator angrily criticized a man for giving his testimony in Spanish during a committee hearing in Austin on Monday, telling the man to "speak English."
Antolin Aguirre was testifying against a proposed bill that would crack down on illegal immigration, My Fox Dallas-Fort Worth reported Friday.
Republican state Sen. Chris Harris told Aguirre that his testimony was "insulting to us."
Aguirre, who has been in the U.S. since 1988, continued with his remarks in Spanish using an interpreter to relay the information, saying that he felt more comfortable testifying in Spanish.

The guy has been in the United States since 1988 and he feels the need to still talk in Spanish in public?
If I went down to Mexico and spoke English in front of their lawmakers, what do you think they would do? Probably throw by big, fat and hair butt out of the door.
It is insulting for someone to speak in public, like in front of lawmakers, in their native tongue. It is insulting to the people who have to listen to him and it is insulting to the United States, which is an English speaking country.
A lady said in the article this:
"You get a climate of fear," said Olga Garza Kaufman, of San Antonio, who was born in Mexico and later moved to Texas with her family. "My parents were perfectly legal, but they were afraid of police. That's what happens when you have a culture that does not value its immigrants."
We value immigrants, it's the immigrants not respecting the United States and it's customs and traditions. The man is not respecting the customs of the United States and Texas.
So, congratulations to Texas State Senator Chris Harris for standing up for the traditions and customs of the United States. Thank you for not being a wimp.
