Constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment, should be conditioned on English proficiency for citizens and non-citizens alike.
Non-English speakers would not enjoy the full practical exercise of those rights. The only carve-out is for those born with a disability that makes them unable to speak.
All voting must be done in person. Voting requires U.S. citizenship plus the ability to fill out one’s own English-language ballot without a translator. To vote, a person must show valid ID and, in front of two poll watchers (one Republican and one Democrat), read the voting instructions aloud in English.
The U.S. Postal Service will provide transportation for those with qualifying disabilities. Postal workers will receive extra hours and appropriate vehicles for that day. To board the bus, a person must show ID, state their name and address, and read a preselected English sentence aloud.
Anyone who fails these requirements will be transported to the nearest ICE facility for investigation.
This policy is designed to reverse the effects of large-scale entry under the prior administration’s border and parole policies and to rein in both illegal voting and illegal aliens in one measure.
