The second one has to do with the English language. I know people get all exercised about this issue. The language is taken almost verbatim from PETER KINGS House Resolution 4408 by strengthening a very weak provision in the Judiciary Committee bill that will be under consideration here. that illegal immigrants currently in the United States must merely "demonstrate an effort" to learn English when applying for a green card. Anyone can demonstrate an effort to do anything. You dont have to do anything to do that. So that is a meaningless phrase. There is no requirement whatsoever. My amendment would require these immigrants to learn our language by making English the official language of the United States and making all official business of the United States conducted in English. including publications. tax forms. information material. and other items. As a matter of fact. my amendment follows what at least 26 other States already have at the State level. They have English as the official language.
