US First Lady's stand
According to an AFP despatch from Washington which was published in a section of our local Press, American First Lady Laura Bush disagreed with her husband President George W Bush saying that she found nothing wrong with a new Spanish-language version of the US national anthem and singing it in Spanish. She said. "We are a nation of immigrants.... we are a nation of many many languages because immigrants come and bring their languages."
Recognising the immigrants' role, the US First Lady further said "I recognise that we're a nation of immigrants and that we're a welcoming nation. And that's why we're diverse, that's why we're so strong."
While sincerely appreciating the above observation of the US First Lady Laura Bush, I would expect her to help immigrants peacefully settle in the United States without facing any discrimination or hatred!
