Again, do you think everyone in the country will instantly and magically become fluent in English the minute he signs an executive order? And, we have always had hundreds of languages in America and we've done pretty well so far.

the 14th amendment has nothing to do with what language we speak.
That was just a glitch but anyways I don't see what the issue is. After all, English has unofficially been the language of The United States for ages now. Now it's just going to be officially. Tagging OhPleaseJustQuit, JGalt, Thunk, toobfreak, and Blaster.

Brilliant post! So full of relevant information and logical analysis! NOTTrying to make an "official language" for the US is not going to work. Too many practical and constitutional problems with the idea.

If you want people to understand what they are signing, agreeing to, or voting for, it helps for them to be able to read or listen to it. If police have to arrest someone they have to read them their Miranda rights. Part of that is confirming that the subject understands the rights as read to them. You can think of a hundred more examples if you think about it for a minute.

This thread here sux! This is a spam thread.
Better off here: same subject.
Again, I already answered. I get annoyed when people re-ask a question I've already answered.
It will take more than that.
Does it matter?

Funny story, I had a buddy of mine his parents immigrated from Cuba. He was born here, ended up joining the army became a sniper. Only person I ever met who could shoot better than me. He got his engineering degree that’s how we met at my first company. The company was struggling. I realized that as soon as I started my first day, I left in three years for a much better gig and so did he. He went to Detroit/Livonia area. He called me up about six months later, he was doing the paper written application for his drivers license. They were out of English and only Spanish available at the time. Good for him he actually he actually spoke and read it decently because of his parents. He actually passed it even he couldn’t believe they were out of English.

You mean he wants to rename Spanish place name to English too? That means every Los Angeles road sign must be taken down and replaced with The Angels, that's gonna take money, another own goal - oh and lets not forget all those maps too.
I was planning on visiting Santa Fe soon too, better start looking for Holy Faith signs I guess.
Fucking dunce.
Exactly!
You're from Japan, right? You've had to assimilate, yes?

Here, select which part(s) you think do it;
Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Excellent. Stop offering documents or assistance in other languages. If you want to be here, speak English. If you want to be fluent in 7 languages, great; but 1 of them better be English.
