I. for one. hope our children grow up speaking more than one language. But we need to be able to speak with one another. and we need to understand those principles which we debate here in the Senate. Just look at this debate on immigration. We are debating four great principles with which we all agree. but we apply them in different ways. They are the rule of law. they are laissez faire. about our free market system. they are equal opportunity. giving everybody a fair chance at the starting line. and e pluribus unum. the idea that we are one nation from many. This amendment is as important as any amendment which is being offered because it helps take our magnificent diversity and make it something even more magnificent. It recognizes that only a few things unite us: our principles. found in our founding documents. and our common language. We are proud of where we have come from. where our ancestors have come from. but to make this land of immigrants truly one country. we must have and honor our national language. our common language. and that language is English.
