Well, that didn't take long

Republican National Chairman Mel Martinez told the Washington Times that "I don't support deporting these people [illegal aliens] because I don't believe that's a realistic approach." (You can read the interview here.)

Martinez said that "My election to the RNC was not about immigration. It's about the president's belief that my voice could help the party win elections." He also said "My views on immigration are not well understood." Perhaps.

Thankfully, Martinez admitted that "There is some anger out there at our party's grass roots. We have to show them we've heard their message loud and clear and that we understand it"

Here's a hint: every time someone telephones an office of the United States government and is asked to "press one for English," they get angry.

English classes for illegal aliens aren't the issue. Having our government address all Americans in English is the issue.
