It's made of a convergence of various cultures in the effort for assimilation. Holding onto and focusing on individual heritage in lieu of assimilation is segregation. Remember that segregation thing that MLK essentially gave his life to combat?
Segregation manifests itself these days in ways more insidious than drinking fountains.
You're actually equating using one's mother tongue at home to separate drinking fountains?
I don't want thought police anywhere. Democrat thought police are responsible for the disintegration of assimilation.
So you want to station the Thought Police in people's homes to make sure they "speak American"?
Here's a better idea: School some of the posters here who can't seem to master English as a First Language.
You need to explain.
Not speaking English at home doesn't discourage assimilation. Refusing to learn or speak English outside the home does that.Segregation manifests itself these days in ways more insidious than drinking fountains.

Your argument is hyperbolic and disingenuous and you know it.

Not speaking English at home -- that means with your kids -- discourages assimilation because it sends the signal that assimilation isn't pertinent.Not speaking English at home doesn't discourage assimilation.

I'm speaking from experience. Lots of highspanics where I live. The lack of effort to assimilate at home puts pressure on the community to pick up that job. Every sign in every store is in Spanish and English and English must be specified in almost all areas of commerce. Not to mention the effort required in public schools to accommodate non-english speakers. That entails cost.
I have no intention of denying anyone the right to speak any language they wish anywhere. The onus is on encouraging assimilation and ostracizing those who refuse to make the effort. The result of not doing that is segregation and added costs.I don't want thought police anywhere.

How else do you plan to deny people the right to speak whatever language they want in their own homes? CCTV?

Uh.... no Skippy, your argument was hyperbolic. That's exactly why I mocked it.
