Roger: it IS the law to become a Citizen, has been perhaps from the start of the Republic, is just that the Government does not require it...
Yeah, you’re right about becoming a citizen, but I’m talking about all visitors, tourists, students, businessmen, guest workers. They should all be required to speak English before being allowed in. I have seen Japanese and Chinese business visitors who needed translators to transact business here. If you’re in America, you should speak Enflish.
Noob that is absolutely ridiculous.
Having traveled (business and pleasure) to many other countries, I think that a measure of tourism and business travel may allow for non-English speaking activity, as long as most of the burden in not on the hosting country.
Hotels and main attractions can allow for that with multi-language staff; most countries already do that.
PROBLEM: illegally traveling into an foreign-speaking country, with the EXPECTATION that you will be provided with translators, driver’s test, medical questionnaires, employment applications, and who knows what else, in your native language. NOW, that is INSANE and an insult to all that either were born in-country or made the effort to learn the native language of that country.
So, that is what this Government has allowed to happen.
Thats absurd. We should only allow tourists/business visitors in the country if they speak English? Imagine if every country did that - it would be the end of international tourism & business.
