In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the persons becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isnt an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
- Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Hey Arnold...get rid of the so called “bilingual” programs (if you can--it's really an employment program for Spanish speaking teachers) where the kids are ghettoized for years learning in Spanish.
And by the way their wealthy counterparts in Latin America send their kids to private English schools!

I am done with “dialing 1” for English. Comcast can kiss it.
To: SmithL
My grandfather came to the US speaking Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. And he listened to the radio as many hours as he could to learn English. He never spoke Spanish, his native language, outside of his home. And by the time we started school, he banned the speaking of Spanish all together. We were Americans. We would speak English.
Assimilate. That was the goal of the immigrants in my grandfather’s day.

It's too bad this simple truth is going to draw charges of hate speech, but those who make such charges really don't wan't immigrants to succeed - they need them illiterate and unemployable so they can make money representing immigrant "interests".
I'm glad Arnold said this - no other Republican in the state would even be listened to.

A little aside...
My wife is a school teacher in a fairly heavily Hispanic district. She took an ESL (English as a Second Language) certification course in order to get a bonus at work and presumably communicate with her kids in Spanish. On the first day of class, and without any hint of irony, the teacher said “Today is the last day that we will speak to each other in English - from now on Spanish only. The best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it.”
Public education at its finest.
