“A Herndon Town Council member said yesterday that the town should print official documents in English only, as a way to encourage Hispanic immigrants to learn the language.

“The language of the Commonwealth is English,” said William B. Tirrell Sr., one of four new council members and a new mayor elected in May who have raised concerns about the impact of illegal immigration on the town. “All of our efforts should be toward encouraging people to learn English. This is an English-speaking country.”"
