Ever listen to professional athletes do a post game interview? A lot of them can barely speak english after growing up here and 4 years of college.
We enable and facilitate non-english speakers to remain so. The language of our government should be English and only English. If immigrants want to come here they should at least learn our language.
This article is write but no one is reading it. Probably 5-10 million people or less in the U.S don't speak English this is the numbers for people who speak a language other than English AT HOME, I have friends who are Hispanic and Filipino who speak the languages their parents originally have at home. I have met all of their parents and while some have a slight accent, all their children speak perfect English. This is like half of my class so the premise here is blatantly wrong.
A new report shows explosive growth in the number of U.S. residents 5 years of age and older who speak a language other than English at home.
"The report by the Center for Immigration Studies, which breaks down new Census data, shows a record number of new immigrants in the country whose primary language is not English, and the fastest growing language is Arabic.
In 2015 a record 64.7 million U.S. residents spoke a foreign language at home – up 5.2 million since 2010 and up 1.5 million in just the last year. The largest percentage increase from 2010 to 2015 was for speakers of Arabic, Hindi (an India language) and Urdu (Pakistan’s national language)."
