I also see no reason to force people to learn English if they think they can get by without knowing it.They know they can get by without it because we do go out of our way to accommodate their native languages, especially if they are Chinese or Spanish, and to a lesser extent, Russian. Forty years ago, there were NO governmental fora that conducted business or disseminated information in any language but English. Those immigrants truly had to learn English to get by. Nowadays, that is simply not the case. These immigrants become less interested in politics, policy, and the betterment of America and themselves as a whole. Can we agree that there are vastly more opportunities and a richer life here available to those who know English, or is this fact somehow "racist" and must be overlooked or amended to reflect softer sensibilities? |
