Members of Latino organizations were trying to come up with excuse for why the mayor (who was sued by the ACLU) should embrace "illegal aliens."
The mayor explained about how it results in a vast increase in the costs for education and health-care.
Latinos were accusing the mayor of discriminating against them because he wants to make English the official language. I think one of the points the mayor made was that why does everything also need to be printed in Spanish? Should the same be done for French, German, Russian and other languages?
They were making excuses that the mayor doesn't provide any resources for them to learn English. He refuted them by stating how he substantially raised the budget for ESL programs.
