Martin O’Malley (D)
Martin O’Malley receives an overall grade of: F
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of 
on the issue of Official English.
The Martin O’Malley 2016 campaign has not issued a statement on whether or not the former Maryland governor would support making English the official language of the federal government. As governor, however, O’Malley approved budgets that provided multi-millions to Casa de Maryland, a nonprofit that advocates for amnesty without English requirements and taxpayer funded benefits for the illegal immigrants in Maryland. In 2015, the County Council of Frederick, Maryland, held public meetings to discuss the potential repeal of its official English law. In full disclosure, ProEnglish actively supported the law and Casa de Maryland used its resources to actively oppose the law, which was repealed on a narrow 4-3 vote.
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of N/A on the issue of Bilingual Ballots.
The Martin O’Malley 2016 campaign has not stated a position on bilingual ballots. However, O’Malley goes beyond Sanders and Clinton by calling for a Constitutional amendment to enact universal automatic voter registration. If enacted, universal automatic registration would have the practical effect of registering illegal aliens en masse to vote in states like Maryland that grant drivers licenses to illegals. O’Malley’s campaign also calls for expanded early voting, same day registration, and doing away with photo ID as a pre-requisite to voter registration.
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of on the issue of Amnesty.
Martin O’Malley’s 2016 campaign explicitly calls for a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants residing in the USA. O’Malley would allow these illegal aliens and those who have been allowed to stay through the DREAM, DACA, and DAPA executive fiats to pay their own way into the Obamacare exchanges–all without any English language requirements. O’Malley seeks to go further than Sanders and Clinton in opening up the borders and funding sanctuary cities.
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of N/A on the issue of Puerto Rican Statehood.
Martin O’Malley visited Puerto Rico in August of 2015 and advocated for extending Chapter 9 bankruptcy protections to the Puerto Rican central and local governments and public corporations. He supported expanding Medicaid, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates to match those in the US. During his visit, O’Malley made no statement regarding a possible referendum on statehood and whether, if passed, he would advocate for statehood. Thus he took no stance on whether Official English should be a pre-condition in the bill for any Congressional vote on admission to statehood.
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of N/A on the issue of English-in-the-workplace.
The O’Malley 2016 campaign has not issued a position statement on the issue of the right of employers to require employees to speak English on the job for all things work-related, such as business transactions, customer interactions, company communications, and meetings.
Martin O’Malley receives a grade of on the issue of Multiculturalism & Assimilation.
At the progressive left NetRoots convention in July 2015, Martin O’Malley was booed by protesters from the Black Live Matter movement for his earlier statement that “black lives matter, all lives matter, white lives matter.” O’Malley later backed down to this political correctness by saying that his statement was “insensitive.” This incident shows that O’Malley has a strong proclivity for the progressive multiculturalist view that the law should treat different groups differently, instead of abiding by the traditional American value of treating all citizens as equal before the law. When asked by reporters to respond to this incident, Jeb Bush responded with an appropriate mix of gravity and levity. Bush maintained that O’Malley did not need to apologize for saying ‘all lives matter’ and quipped “I mean, we’re so uptight and so politically correct now you apologize for saying lives matter?” Bush added “Life is precious, it’s a gift from God. I frankly think it’s one of the most important values we have.”
