Sarah Palin wants immigrants to 'speak American'

Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) has taken some flack from 2016 opponent Donald Trump over his use of Spanish on the presidential campaign trail, with Trump suggesting that Bush "set an example by speaking English while in the United States."

Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) piled on Sunday in an interview with CNN's State of the Union. She did praise Bush for his Spanish fluency, but then backed up Trump's overall sentiment.

"I think we can send a message and say, You want to be in America, A) You'd better be here legally or you're out of here. B) When you're here, let's speak American. Let's speak English, and that's a kind of a unifying aspect of the nation is the language that is understood by all," Palin told Jake Tapper, referring to a country on track to be majority-minority by 2040.
