University of Arizona Favors Spanish

At a public university in the United States, a guest speaker was invited to come speak. This is normal. What should be abnormal is that this man, one Mauricio Farah, a national inspector with Mexico's National Human Rights Commission, wanted to give the speech in Spanish. Without a translator. The topic? Illegal immigration into the United States. Fortunately, Americans are starting to speak up when things like this occur. Mr. Farah was shouted down by Americans who were offended that a Mexican should be able to give a speech in Spanish at a public university about illegal immigration. When the Univeristy of Arizona invited him back, he agreed to use a translator so that Americans could hear what he was saying too.
