Voting on making English the official US language (Was: "Hm...")

[Cody Carey]

Send them home, or funnel them through a transparent and just immigration system, but don't hunt them like terrorists, and don't legislate more ways to marginalize them, out of spite.

If it is illegal by our laws to come here through less than proper channels, then why shouldn't we treat those who do come here through those channels like criminals? If they tried to skip over the "transparent and just" system, why should they be shoved back into it? I agree that marginalizing a LEGAL minority is nothing but racist, but If the minority's very being here is breaking the law, then I don't see why they shouldn't be marginalized.

More on topic:


A national language would do nothing but help unify the people of the nation that adopted it. It would encourage those who were coming here to learn the language that everybody else speaks.

If other countries have absolutely no problem adopting English as their language, Then I don't se why the U.S.A. does.
