Jumping from the ones I know and the ones I have had experience with back in my city of Tulsa. the Hispanic population is very proud of the fact that they are going to learn English. and it should be our national language. As recently as 2 months ago. a Zogby poll. in March of 2006. found that 84 percent of Americans. including 77 percent of the Hispanics. believe English should be the official language of Government operations. In 2002. the Kaiser Family Foundation pollwhich I dont think anyone is going to questionfound 91 percent of the foreignborn Latino immigrants agreed that learning English is essential to succeeding in the United States. In 2002. there is also a Carnegie/Public Agenda poll that found by a more than 2toi margin. immigrants themselves say that the United States should expect new immigrants to learn English. My favorite poll is this one. In 2004. the National Council of LaRaza found that 97 percentstrongly 86.4 percent or somewhat 10.9 percentagreed that the ability to speak English is important to succeed in this country.
