Mr. Speaker. America is a nation of immigrants. Some came with knapsacks on their shoulders. some came in chains and leg irons. But one thing America is not. America is not a nation of separation. All our citizens are Americans. The common denominator is our language. Our language is English. The glue that binds generation after generation is both our Constitution and our English language. Supporting programs that teach English. in my opinion. is not enough. Congress must insure that America does not become a nation of separate communities. separate tongues. So. Mr. Speaker. I say it is time to stop the politics of fear. politics of hate. politics of division.
