Avoid political isolation To the editor -- Herman Badillo, who as a Hispanic congressman from New York, led successful efforts to establish bilingual voting and bilingual education in 1974. In his 2006 book, "One Nation, One Standard," he says that those policies "backfired drastically" because "bilingualism and identity politics have produced an ingrained resistance" for Hispanics "to enter the American mainstream.

Herman Badillo, the first Puerto Rican-born U.S. congressman, architect of key federal bilingual voting and education laws and a fixture of New York City politics for nearly five decades, is now 77 and senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute think tank.
