Hear Ye Hear Ye!

What he said. English as the official language, and legal immigrants must learn a minimal set within a year of immigrating or their legal status may be revoked. If you live here, you must be able to communicate with other citizens.

They don't have to learn it when they first arrive. But they should want to learn it and become citizens.

My grandmothers never learned English despite being here since 1900.

Language is really a second generation thing. You come here and your kids go to school. My mother, born here in 1917, didn't know one word of English when she started school. My bro and myself both went to college and have degrees in Engineering.

What should NOT be happening is ballots printed in any language besides English. English is a mandate of becoming a citizen.

Pssst...I'm a she.
