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).
More than one in five U.S. residents now speaks a foreign language at home, according to the CIS report.
“A common language is the means by which immigrant groups communicate with each other and with the larger society,” said Steven Camarota, the center’s director of research and co-author of the new report.
President Obama has been issuing more than 130,000 green-cards per year to persons from Muslim-majority countries using various legal programs such as refugee resettlement, the visa lottery, employment-based programs and other channels.
School systems from St. Cloud, Minnesota, Wichita, Kansas, and Twin Falls, Idaho, to Amarillo, Texas, and Fargo, North Dakota, have been overwhelmed by Third World refugees over the past 10 years, forcing them to hire expensive linguistics experts and translators. The language barrier also presents new challenges to 9-1-1 emergency centers, hospitals, jails and other public institutions.
More than 15 languages are spoken in the Amarillo school system, and when you include the different dialects, the number balloons to 75, according to Mayor Paul Harpole’s testimony before the state legislature.

Borders, Language, Culture.
Our country is being stolen from us.
Nice little “Tower of Babel” that LBJ, Nixon, Cater, Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama have built here over the last 50 years....
Meanwhile, folks in the rest of the world bend over backwards to learn English because it’s the language of business.
Does that include those that only speak Ghetto. or Gang?
Meanwhile we are told the Rats “only want ten million new voters”...
Even deporting all illegals, and revoking the citizenship of those guilty of fraud and deporting them, it would still take 50 years to assimilate the majority of these people if they even tried to assimilate. Sadly, they will lose because there are too many immigrants, and real Americans will also lose. The only winners are the insiders who get to maintain their power over the immigrants they plan to exploit.
...while America falls behind because it won’t do the same thing here.
Looks like Ann Coulter was a decade late to write her book “Adios America”.
More ominous that the dozens of different languages, is the lack of interest in becoming a true American; adapting to the American culture so as to adopt American ideals.
Chelsea Clinton might be one of them, based on that other thread.
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!
.... Vote wisely folks.
In 1972, the Rockefeller Commission concluded that “...that immigration levels not be increased and that immigration policy be reviewed periodically to reflect demographic conditions and considerations...”
And
“The Commission recommends that Congress immediately consider the serious situation of illegal immigration and pass legislation which will impose civil and criminal sanctions on employers of illegal border-crossers or aliens in an immigration status in which employment is not authorized”
And
“Recognizing that our population cannot grow indefinitely, and appreciating the advantages of moving now toward the stabilization of population, the Commission recommends that the nation welcome and plan for a stabilized population”
This was in 1972. When the United States were the most powerful country on Earth, the most technologically advanced, with a population of just over 200 million, 90% white and predominantly Protestant Christian.
Why is it that 45 years later, something in excess of 70 MILLION people have seen fit to colonize our country, a number so incredible that people would have laughed at you in 1972 if you said it would happen (I was there, I remember)?
What Special Thing did any of them do to deserve to live in such a place that they had NOTHING to do with?
Were they in WWII? WWI? Did they cross the plains in covered wagons, settling the wild frontier with nothing but their squirrel rifles and pick axes? Were they there at Antietam, Chickamauga, Gettysburg or Appomatox? At King’s Mountain, Yorktown or the Boston docks?
None of them. And yet we are told that they are the “Americans” and this is all quite normal, don’t worry little darlings when the aliens impose their troglodyte sick cultures and governments on us.
End ALL immigration now, deport ALL illegals, BUIlD THAT WALL, and start the sacred process of rebuilding America.
For Americans.
Democrats+64 million immigrants = 160 million communists...
I wish an Article V Convention would make English the Official Language of all government business and schools and business transactions.
No, no, no that is not possible there are only 11 million illegals here not 65 million.
Don't you mean HAS BEEN stolen?
I was in a shop today when a woman came in and spoke in Spanish to the clerk, who couldn't understand her but finally found a manager. It seems the non-English speaker was applying for a job. The clerk, under her breath, said to me "how is she going to work here if she can't speak English?" I replied "She has a lawyer."
