Dishonest Politics XXIV

Jim Geraghty over at the Hillary Spot has a quick post on bilingual education. But his criticism misses the point.

Perez is being disingenuous and he knows it. The issue is not about failing to promote second languages to Americans. Bilingual education has the effect of allowing native Spanish speakers to AVOID learning English.

But the joke doesn't sound so funny if the punch line is "an illegal in the Barrio."
