I am wondering why? Did they actually change the meaning or just Translate it to Spanish?

If it just a translation issue than it is pure bigotry, because some of the English speaking population can't accept that a large portion of there population in some areas are Spanish speaking. If they changed the meaning than they do have some beef.

Although there is a reason to fear because if you have the anthem in multiple languages the next step is bilingual states were all government documents need to be available in two languages, or even states that have Spanish as the official language, and than a Spanish separatist federal party and so on.....

Hmmm....

Can get kind of expensive and complicated, with government officials losing there minds, than next thing you end up calling your dollar the loonie.
