Why we must make ENGLISH our official language!

Oregon Firefighter Supervisors laid off because they can't speak Spanish!

English is the language of American success and provides the basis for American cultural unity.

As a part of any comprehensive immigration reform, we should renew our commitment to our cultural values by teaching LEGAL immigrants to speak and read the English language, educating them about U.S. citizenship based upon U.S. history and giving them an understanding of the Founding Fathers and the core values of American civilization. We should continue to encourage those who want to become U.S. citizens, but it is important that we grant citizenship to only those individuals who also want to embrace and assimilate into the culture of the United States.

We must preserve America's unique civilization. To do this we will insist on respecting the rule of law, meaning 100 percent control of the border and the punishment of employers hiring people here illegally. We will also renew our commitment to AMERICAN values, language and history as the prerequisite for American citizenship...

We should not worry about people who want to come to the United States to work hard, pay taxes, obey the law, and become Americans. In fact, we should be delighted to have new Americans join our country because historically they have been the source of enormous talent, energy, and courage. From Alexander Hamilton to Andrew Carnegie to Albert Einstein to Henry Kissinger to Arnold Schwarzenegger, people who wanted to improve their lives, and in the process improve the country, have enriched America.

Nor should we be concerned that a substantial number of new Americans are Hispanic. America has a long history of absorbing and blending people of many languages and backgrounds. There have always been non-English newspapers in America and now we have non-English radio and television. I am also not worried that some immigrants come here only to earn money and then go home (Italian immigrants, in particular, did that in the past).

What should worry us is the breakdown of will on the part of America to control the borders and to ensure that new immigrants learn to be American. What should worry us is a breakdown of will to protect America's unique civilization!

Thank you to Newt Gingrich for the above. It's time to wake up AMERICA!

@QUeensNYCUSA Shut up. Get your head out your ass.

[JoachimderZweite]

Well I don't speak Spanish but if it is a job requirement then I would learn it.

[antifrituras]

@dalejrfan12 If someone come from US and want have a good job, OBVIOUSLY they must speak English... But it's wrong force people speak English in public areas. We have freedom speak any language in any public area.... There's something I'm worried.

@dalejrfan12 its true.. the people going to your country should speak english but im gonna take something as example most of europeans speak english, spanish, german french, its really an embarrasment that you, your country focus education on 1 language only, and one language you do not even speak properly.. by the way im from russia..

@rpm23 I see your point, however, "America" isn't a continent. North and South America are two separate continents. In North America, majority of people speak English. In South, it's mainly Spanish. So yeah, I agree the U.S. official language should be English considering it's used primarily in nearly everything we do up here. Government, Schools, Movies, Books, the People. It's really confusing and irritating when you have 100 people, 85 speak English 5 speak Spanish, and the rest speak another

It wasn't great that early colonizers forced their culture on others around the world. But look, we're in the future now. I immigrated to the U.S as an Asian Indian. My family and I didn't hesitate to become English speakers and we STILL speak our native language Hindi. Yes the U.S is one of the countries in the western hemisphere that embraces diversity. But don't you leftist retarded hippie punks realize that when you immigrate to other countries, you're expected to learn their languages!

[motstraumen]

um, most countries people know at least two languages, not here. We are too arrogant. Most hispanics do know our English language, the percentage is in the 90s and they are learning it much faster than most of our immigrant ancestors did. In Mexico, indeed there are many ethnic groups and therefore they know their native language and Spanish.

@dalejrfan12 Americans could learn this lesson. In my years in my Europe most American Business men had no inclination at all to learn the languages of the countries they were working in. Some had lived there for decades.
