Our very roots

You mean to tell me we have groups like U.S. English, an advocate group for “Official English", but we do not have groups working to solve the real problem of illegal immigration? There are actually people wasting our time and tax money trying to push English as the official language and how sad is that?

Here's the truth. America is a country of so many different cultures, religions and people. What kind of an American is a person who tries to force people into just one language? That's no American at all. Look, I understand that English is the dominant language of our society and that we should look to open more avenues to people who cannot speak it to learn how to do so. However, we must not begin to force anything like this upon the citizens of our society.

Would you enjoy it if suddenly at school they said you can no longer wear your favorite team's colors and that you must wear colors they choose? Of course you wouldn't. How much would you like it if the government showed up at your church and shut it down because you're not Catholic? Probably not a whole lot. If you go to Mexico, do you think the government makes you speak Spanish-only? No, you must adapt to their culture as they must adapt to our own. There is no need for force on such a petty issue.
