I'm trying to help a friend out with an English paper......

Should english be the offical language of the US ?

Meaning everything be dealt with in English . Restricting the public use of minority langauges.

What is your stance on immigration ?

of course it should be the official language. yeah we may be ignorant but there is no use of making any other language our official language

only 9% of people in our country are bilingual.

if you ask me, speak whatever the fuck you want.

the U.S. is becoming alarmingly idealistic.

haha i made a thread about this like 2 years ago, i got into a HUGE arguement with my liberal history teacher, about some extra credit assignement, and i said i would write it in italian, just to prove a point i could and she couldnt do anything about it, and she flipped out saying it MUST be in english, so i told her well then why is english not the official language of the united states? and she just started yelling at me, must have been pmsing. But i actually researched english being spoken around the world on the internet and foudn some inertetsing things

There should be no official language but why should states pay more so people who come to this country can read signs. It's dumb to waste that money on people who don't pay taxes. I'm not saying every immigrant is illegal but if I were to move to a foreign country I wouldn't expect them to change things for me. I would learn the language.
