You think people would be motivated to learn English in order to read government forms?Lie.Nothing unites a nation like a common language. What is she afraid of?
A friend of mine went into the Army and some of the manuals were Spanish/English. She worked with explosives sometimes. Since Spanish was her first language, that helped her do her job. Having multi lingual manuals, ballots, forms etc excludes nobody and allows all who want to engage in the processes that do truly unite us.
Utter bullshit.
There's no motivation to learn English if all government functions are provided in various languages. We are a fractured society, and one of the chief reasons is we are separated by different languages here in our own country.
A common language is key, otherwise people tend to stay in their own group.
So?
Maybe we should force people to dress certain ways in the interest of some fantasy of cohesion being necessary.
Perhaps you should learn Spanish. What’s that? You don’t like being forced to do something in the interest of unity?
It’s a dumb idea; just like it’s a dumb idea to make others only speak or read English
I didn't say "FORCE" them.
I said they have no motivation to learn our common language, when there's no reason to.
If government and businesses would stick to one language in all of their communications, both printed, and verbal, all non-English speaking people would automatically be motivated to learn it !
Liberals hate unity, they want multiculturalism, they want an America made up of different groups who are alienated from one another.
If you want unity, language is the foundation, and the fact that you are against a one-language country screams that you are against unity !
