Mr. President. we heard a lot about studies and research. But all the studies and research are formed by assumptions and my misgivings about this bill are precisely the underlying assumptions that form it: The assumption that a new citizen should be kept from joining the United States of America mainstream and speaking the United States of Americas mainstream language. which is English. the sponsors assume that somehow we are helping these people by encouraging them to speak a different language: the assumption that immigrant groups are best served by keeping them identified in ethnic groups. not culturally. which is their own business. If culturally we want to have a Basque center in Boise. ID.
