The link above is court cases where, yes, Latino's the big cry babies, brought suit against companies and towns for English only policies!

Here's one example:

After issuing the written policy, the City clarified that English was required
during work hours and on City property during non-work hours if any English-only
speaker was present. (Aplt.App. at 877-78 & 322) In other words, employees
could only speak Spanish if everyone around them spoke Spanish. (Id.)
Accordingly, Plaintiff Ruben Rios testified that Nettles issued a document stating
that Spanish could be spoken "with another individual in a ditch but nowhere in the
other departments." (Aplt.App. at 137) Rios also understood that he could speak
Spanish on lunch or a break, but only if everyone was Hispanic. (Aplt.App. at
137-3 Similarly, Plaintiff Lloyd Lopez was told that he could speak Spanish in a
truck or a break room when alone with another Hispanic employee or on the phone
with his wife, but if an English-only speaker walked by he had to switch to English
because "it would offend whoever was walking by." (Aplt.App. at 410) Both Rios
and Lopez were told that the City adopted the policy for "safety" reasons, namely
the speaking of Spanish on the City's radio and at work. (Aplt.App. at 138-39 &
409-410)
The English-only policy "caused quite a bit of controversy." (Aplt.App. at
772) A significant number of the Hispanic employees felt targeted by the policy.
(Aplt.App. at 265 (Depo.47)) At least a dozen of them filed charges of
discrimination. (Aplt.App. at 870-71) Conversely, some non-Hispanic employees
came forward to complain to Willis that they also had felt uncomfortable when co-
workers spoke Spanish. (Aplt.App. at 246 (Depo.21-23)) No employee
complained that Spanish speaking created safety problems. (Id.; Aplt.App. at 244
(Depo.15-16))

The Latino's we have coming here now, seem to learn how our laws work, if they can bring a law suit...but don't seem to understand the laws about breaking into our Country!
