But a jerk none-the-less. What about all the LEGAL, english speaking hispanic members of our community who just want to watch the local news in their native language? The Spanish speaking population in our state is growing, wouldn't we like them to actually understand what's going on around them? I am an average, run-of-the-mill white, native Oregonian who also doesn't like illegal immigrants any more than the next person, but I've been on the flip side - in a foreign country desperate to just understand what was happening outside. I say give it a chance and let's see what they can do.
