The Government is sending a clear message that to live in the United States. one must not learn the English language. I believe such Government policies establish a dangerous and expensive precedent. The idea that the U.S. Government can accommodate better than 300 foreign languages now found in America. is absurd. In order to assimilate the various cultures and ethnic groups that comprise this great land. we must use English. Of all the different homelands and dialects introduced to the United States in the 18th century. the language the immigrants choose was English. They did not choose French. German. or Spanish.
