Bush's Pro-English Words Not Matched by His Deeds
Kate O' Beirne last night: "[Bush has] waited five years to address the [border security] issue."
Ditto on the language issue. President Bush says "[W]e must honor the great American tradition of the melting pot" but omits any details, as though the issue was entirely out of his control for the last five years.
Yet on the multilingual side of the ledger, the Bush Administration has failed to rescind Clinton Executive Order 13166, which created a federal right to translation services at taxpayer expense, and aggressively enforced the bilingual ballot requirements of the Voting Rights Act.
The English First side gets lofty rhetoric. The mandatory multiculturalists get policy victories.
