TORRENTE PATERNINA, LILIÁN PAOLA. Spanish and linguistic policies in the United States: The case of border states with Mexico. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2013, n.22, pp.47-58. ISSN 0121-053X.
Abstract The present study is a bibliographic review of the current situation of educational and linguistic policies related to bilingual education in the border states between the U.S. and Mexico. It describes the nonexistent but implicit federal language policies in the United States of America as well as its ad hoc policies on bilingual education, especially regarding the current situation of Spanish and its legislation in the border states with Mexico. The growing anti-immigrant feeling that exists in these states is reflected in the policies restricting the use of Spanish and other languages different from English. This situation establishes a deep contradiction taking into account the historical origin of this region.
