However. this should not be at the expense of our common tongue. Winston Churchill once said "the gift of a common language is a priceless inheritance." According to a USA Today poll taken in 1993. 97 percent of the American population agreed with Winston Churchill and supported making English the official language of Government. A more recent study found that 86 percent of Americans and 81 percent of immigrants want to make English the official language. Now some of my colleagues have claimed that this bill preys upon linguistic minorities in this country. reminding us that Alexis de Tocqueville warned that the danger of democracy was that a majority could exercise tyranny over a minority. While I acknowledge that this is a serious concern.
