Still, I have access to a number of language translators on the internet that opens up almost the entire world for me ~ if not for you.

What does that have to do with the U.S. having a common language creating a cohesive bond that brings us all together?

As for the new "immigrants" who refuse to learn English should we be required to supply them with the internet and computers so they can access those sites?

Immigrant adults, legal or illegal, rarely learn the common tongue of any new country satisfactorily. It's not that they refuse, rather, it's that they can't.

Most of us usually only learn to speak one language with any facility.

At the same time I know that the current "world language" is English. Anyone really important enough for me to communicate with knows it. Those who aren't of any importance to me may not know it, but I don't care.

Still, I have the technology and enough facility with several languages to use the on-line translators to survey what the non-English enabled foreigners are doing.
