English America's Common Language

i agree

i believe that every nation
wants to build smart strong citizens
rather than weak and stupid hostile citizens

when immigrants speak only their own language
in the new nation
prejudice will form
reverse discrimination will occur
conditions of enmity and strife will develop

the new nation will discriminate against the immigrants

these are the facts

assisting immigrants with bilingual information has it's proper place
during the immigration process
and for legal and medical concerns

when i was in italy
i avoided speaking to english speaking people
i started dreaming in italian
in about four months
and i am relatively slow and stupid
others were much quicker

on the other side
by causing immigrants to remain in their own language
they become pigeon holed into inferior menial jobs
we stretch out the assimilation process

by listening to language cd's and tapes
for only five minutes a day
you can pick up any language
in under two weeks

failure to learn the language of the new nation
suggests an unwillingness to know understand and adapt
the new culture creating distance and fear

it causes both to hold the other in a lower esteem
