John Trasvina from the Mexican-American Legal Defense Foundation was on O’Reilly on Friday, hosted by Laura Ingraham. Trasvina believes it is racist to declare English as our Official National Language here in the United States. This is another unbelievable insult to Americans in this country. Trasvina calls this declaration as divisive? He thinks we need more adult English classes to make everything fair for everybody.

What?

This is nothing more than insane, and as Laura says, this is pushing us more towards being a “hyphenated America,” and that we should stop all that and just consider ourselves plain-ol’ Americans. What’s wrong with that? Rep. Mark Souder (R) appears and is one of the representatives backing this measure. Trasvina tries to implicate Laura’s parents took night classes to learn English when they moved here, but she quickly tells him “no, they didn’t’.”

So, what do you think? Do you think this is a crazy idea, or do you think English SHOULD be declared our official language?
