        We are closer to identifying this horrible man. Clearly, his bigotry is not new or hidden. He has been seen being horrible before. This is him last year in New York.https://aplus.com/a/donald-trump-linda-sarsour-protests-cuny.html …

        Please let Attorney Aaron M. Schlossberg of Midtown Manhattan know I’m trying to get in touch with him. I have a few questions. If you reach him, ask how often he eats at the Fresh Kitchen next door to his office and if he has a problem with people speaking Spanish there.pic.twitter.com/8pgQ6wZNzi

        Why would he even assume that two people obviously WORKING would be on welfare? Is there an expectation that this line of work should not pay living wages?

        Is this staged? Surely he knows everyone has a cell to record this? You can overhear people speaking numerous languages in an international city with a large immigrant population like NYC.

        His attitude is not only utterly offensive, but hugely harmful to tourism. Imagine, you go to America for a vacation and get harassed for not speaking English. I wonder if he becomes fluent in the language of a country he visits, lest he be harassed or worse for speaking English.

        You are utterly right. I used to visit the US at least once every year. I don’t anymore, precisely because of people like him. According to the @CommerceGov, we Mexicans used to make 1 in every 4 annual tourists to the US in 2016. Over 20 million tourists spending $20 billion.

        That is more tourists than the ones from the UK, Japan, Brazil, China, Germany, and France combined. I don’t know the new data, but I’m sure it’s not as positive. And I don’t care how many times the “Visit the USA” ads come on my TL and on YouTube, I’m not visiting anytime soon.

        I’ve also read there’s been a big loss in intl tourism to US under Trump. Understandably so. I’m sick of what’s happening. I live by a grocery store that’s owned by Koreans, staffed by Latinos, and sells Polish/Russian specialties. THIS is the America I love!

        My wife and I personally know of several affluent foreigners who cancelled plans to visit US. They just do not want to spend their money here. It is absolutely having an impact on tourism.

        Thank you. Many Mexican families can trace their family history to these places before America was a country , and when American did take control of California both languages were the official languages.

        As a native Californian raising children here, I think that teaching Spanish beginning in pre-school should be mandatory. My children’s school is predominantly Mexican and I don’t understand why there are no programs to teach them Spanish.
