Spanish-language section has no place in the DTH

TO THE EDITOR:

I feel it necessary to speak out on the ""La Colina"" section of the DTH. I have nothing against immigration" but I am speaking out against the catering that is done for our neighbors to the south by having seemingly innocent sections such as La Colina or adding Spanish subtitles to our signs and even voting ballots.

What about the millions who read or write different languages? Are we going to start having signs with Chinese and Hindi subtitles?

We should not have ballots in other languages — does congress hold sessions in multiple languages?

I have nothing against the La Colina section if they created their own publication but by having it in the DTH represents the movement of catering to our neighbors to the south.

When did we become the United States of Northern Mexico?
