Reply #49: Also denies healthcare, education and welfare services to poor English speakers [View All]

Whether legal or illegal immigrants or poorly educated second generation Americans.

Having an "English-only" government means tax forms, applications for assistance and other programs to which poor English speakers are entitled would be incomprehensible to them. Means more money for the government in penalties for "misunderstandings" on tax forms and not having to pay out money to people who are too intimidated to fill out the forms.

People who back "English Only" are assholes who want to cynically steal money from vulnerable populations and save it for "real" (read white) Americans.
