Asked about the Spanglish-zed version of the national anthem released this week in solidarity with the illegal alien protests, President Bush said today:

“I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.”

“I think people who want to be citizens of this country ought to learn English,” Bush said.

I repeat the question I’ve asked many times over the course of this debate:

Who’s assimilating whom?
