Congressman: Official English Would Save Millions

A special interest organization called The American Dream contends “the quickest way to divide people is to have them speak different languages.”

The group notes there are 325 different languages spoken at home in the United States today.

“In the past, it was always understood that if you wanted to thrive in the ‘land of opportunity’ that you had better learn English and learn it well. Unfortunately, times have changed,” the group says. “Today, many radical activist groups are actually referring to the English language as a ‘tool of oppression’ and are demanding that special accommodations be made for those that do not wish to learn the English language.

When I make a call to a 800 number I a'am told to press 1 for English. Why? I used to live in The United States of America, not in Mexico. I refuse to press a number for a native language for my native Country. People of America. You better wake up quickly!

It'd cost way less to print instructions in English only. If we go to Russia, do Russians learn & publish in English for our benefit.

It's not the government's job or responsibility to create jobs.

They are however, required to make things favorable for job creation.
