These efforts are to be commended. However. we must not lose sight of our official language. One sure way to lock our young people into poverty situations is to neglect their need to learn the English language. Some States have amended their constitutions to provide English as the official language. We in the U.S. Congress must also stress the importance of the English language. I strongly support this amendment. I think it is a very thoughtful one. I have cosponsored similar amendments to immigration reform bills. I think that is a very essential provision and ask unanimous consent that I be added as a cosponsor.
