People calling Beaufort County offices will no longer have the option of picking the Spanish language.

The commissioners voted Monday night to remove Spanish language assistance and instructions on county phone systems.

Commissioner Hood Richardson says Spanish language translators are still available at county agencies, and he's happy the resolution passed. Richardson says, "There's nothing in the constitution of the U.S. nor in my heritage that says I have to accommodate illegals that invade my privacy my way of life and change the history of my family."

Commissioners also discussed the future process for policy making within the county government when it comes to providing services to illegal aliens.

Great News! Must be few Democrats in the Beaufort County Commission. I think it's a pre-requisite to be pro invader in NC if your a Democrat.

"There's nothing in the constitution of the U.S. nor in my heritage that says I have to accommodate illegals that invade my privacy my way of life and change the history of my family."

Good job Beaufort! Immigrants are supposed to learn the English language anyway....and most of them do if they want to live here.

"There's nothing in the constitution of the U.S. nor in my heritage that says I have to accommodate illegals

Exactly. I've lived in tourist areas and even they don't have things printed in a ton of different languages....that's where knowing any other language is helpful. Bi-lingual doesn't mean "must speak Spanish".

Good for them!!!

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

WOOO HOOO!!!!

Git 'er done, Beaufort!!!!!!!

Go Hood Richardson!

Good to see someone in my home state handling their business

That's fabulous news, but how long do you think it will be before the ACLU, La Raza, etc...steps in and sues Beaufort County?

Great news!!!

It should be interesting to see if anyone files suit over this. I suppose they could try, of course, but what grounds would there even be?

And wouldn't filing suit on behalf of just one language be considered discriminatory?
