Don't we have much bigger problems in this state to address? Another reason for a part time legislature so you people stop wasting taxpayers time and money. Fix the states problem first before we do this "feel good" stuff.

How about teaching them ENGLISH, if they're here legally? And if not-well, you know the answer. Stop taking my tax dollars to pander to hispanics. I want a German-Ancestry Heritage Month!
