While many people including well known politicians are against making English the official language of America. I think that American English is a diverse enough language as it is. Making English the official language of America can only make things better. This will force immigrants to learn the language and will help bring the country together, while getting rid of all the confusion us Americans have when encountering someone who lives here, but speaks another language.
On the state level 27 states have adopted English as the official language of the state, while in the past six years seven other states have put in a piece of legislation to make English the official language. Georgia is one of the seven states that are trying to pass a bill that would make English the language of the state.
Coming from Cherokee County I know of this firsthand; Last December Cherokee County made English the official language of the county and it is illegal to have any signs or advertisements in Spanish. Cherokee County also has the second largest population of Hispanics in the state of Georgia trailing only Hall County. If a county with a Hispanic population as large as Cherokee’s can adopt English as the official language, then why can’t this country?
