If they can’t read and speak English, how can they be educated enough to vote on the candidates and the issues? This is assuming that all of them trying to vote are even legally entitled to vote. With organizatons like Acorn registering dead people, mickey mouse, felons and what not, in the last election there is no telling who is voitng these days.

If any mandating is going to be done, it should be a birth certificate or naturlization paper based identity card. It would be worth it to this country to just pay for those cards and get the scammers out of the system.

And, the second criteria would be to speak and read English. I submit that comprehending English is a serious requirement to being an educated voter.

If we had any sense, it should also be a competency test on the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. However, since D20 stopped teaching the Constitution (had 2 kids go through National Excellence school, Rampart’s AP and IB programs without having to learn the Constitution), then the voting pool would be really narrowed.

English is the language in the United States. If you want to live here, learn how to read and write it.
If not, feel free to move home to mexico or whatever country you came from.
