Total BS!

English aint the offical langange of the United States. if you care that much elect ppl to office to change that. untill then Spanish, German, Russian, English are all legiment

I don't care if people speak another language. In fact I think it is great if you are multilingual. However, I think we would all agree that English has been and continues to be the native tongue of the United States.

What do you suggest? Should we print up every sign in the U.S. with every known language spoken within the borders? Do we then pull down and revise all the signs every time a new language is discovered? That would be a great use of tax dollars.

How about instead if all the new immigrants who seem so hungry to be in our country learn the language and adapt like immigrants have been doing since the first boats began arriving from Europe more than two centuries ago.

I am an American. I am not a German-American or an Irish-American or a Native American or an African-American or a Latino-American. Just an American. The problem with Americans today is that everyone wants to be special and a part of their own team. We need to get back to what made America great....A melting pot of ideas, people and dreams.
