English is the official de facto language. The majority of international commerce is conducted in English. Students from around the world vie for a U.S. education and a chance to learn English. and in places with high immigrant populations like my district in Los Angeles. the demand for learning English is so high that people must wait months and. yes. years to attend oversubscribed English classes. In an age of increased global competition. we should be nurturing our Nations most valued treasures. the wealth of cultural knowledge and foreign language skills. And today. some of my colleagues would prevent us from capitalizing on the wealth this Nation has accumulated.
