Does anybody think legals and illegals should be required to learn English before coming to America.

I knowned several Okies that you have to use sign language, their accent was so thick in Okie dialect you couldn't understand them...

Perhaps being required to enter a program to learn would be good.

No.

....all government forms and documentation should be English-only.

Why?

Because it costs less. If you don't speak the language of the home nation, there's no right to impose upon them the obligation to speak yours.

Meh. If they want to work amongst ethnic peers who don't speak the language, that's no big deal.

It's only common sense right? Why would anyone want them to remain in a bubble I have know idea. It would be much more limiting for them.
