Make English the Official Language of the USA. Thirty One States have.....

Oh, but that wouldn't do for the progressives, the fact that it would be official would cause anxiety and oppression amongst those subjugated servants of the Empire! They would proclaim it is being done to systemically put them down and marginalize them and favor those who can actually speak English! They will cry and then protest their rage and shout HOW could this happen!!! They will resist and teach how knowing proficient English is a sign of privilege!!!

Wait for it...

Really? Not a fan of stating the obvious. Why the hell wouldn't it be. When in Rome...

Why English only? Lets be practical and make 2 languages.

If we are being practical it would be 1) Mandarin Chinese and 2) one of the other more popular Chines dialects.

If we must have two languages, however, my votes would be 1) English and 2) Pig-Latin

I keep telling HR my language of choice is Mandarin, and they keep on sending all business related documents and paystubs in English.

I thought it already was.

The liberals love to waste money, think about how much money is spent on forms and translators to accommodate all of the non-english speaking.

My parents both came from South Korea in 76 and they both learned English eventually becoming citizens.

I think it's not unreasonable for it to be mandatory to eventually learn English in a determined time frame upon being granted citizenship. There can be exceptions in place for elderly and learning disabled persons.

If this wasn't decided in The Constitution then its up each state to make it happen.

Isn't that the document that provided protections to ensure we didn't return to being the county that...created English?

I voted other. Not because I'm against it, I just don't see what it would accomplish. Things would still be in multiple languages. It would just be a 'feel good' item, so why waste the time?

Because old dying commies have to try and feel good about themselves on the way out.. so let's make a poll about language

i will say this .. Since there are no road signs in the USA in 50 plus languages ..

The Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration require that truck drivers be able to read and speak English well enough to communicate with the general public, to understand road signs and signals that are in English, to respond to law enforcement and DOT officials, and to fill out paperwork. See 49 C.F.R. § 391.11(b)(2).

and there are a shit ton that CANT!!! ..

we have 2 bays at the shop .. pull around to the back .. left hand door .. what door number is that .,.. fking really ..

I fucking love English, its a shit ton more fun an any bullshit, shit, there are 50,000 words in this crap, and I use, basically just 10 of them
