Of course, that is because liberals, who are oh so intellectual and internation, were against it, and they dominate the media. But wait, one poll that liberals will hate
"Hola" may not be the greeting of choice among Hispanics living in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of Hispanic adults — 65 percent — favor making English the nation's official language, according to a survey released yesterday..
"More than three-in-four immigrants to the U.S. favored the legislation, as did nearly 60 percent of first-generation and 79 percent of second-generation Americans," the survey from Zogby International found.
Another 67 percent of respondents not born here favored the idea compared with 64 percent of those born in the U.S. Favorable numbers were highest among Hispanics with less than a high school education (73 percent), young adults age 18 to 29 years (70 percent), Republicans (69 percent) and those from Mexico (69 percent).
"Making English our official language celebrates the unifying factor in our diverse nation," said Mauro Mujica, chairman of District-based, 1.8 million-member U.S. English, an activist group seeking to preserve English usage in the government and elsewhere.
Of course, the story is in the Right leaning Washington Times, so you won't find it anytime soon in the other news outlets.
If immigrants want to get business done, learn to speak English. We, as Americans, will try and accomodate you, but you have to give us the same respect.
Even in North Carolina, we need tough political leaders such as State Sen. Fred Smith who support tough border security and enforcement of current immigration laws.
The federal government saying they need to pass more legislation is bogus. A bill for a fence? Nonsense! The constitution mandates protection of our borders. The law regarding employers of illegal aliens aren’t being enforced because the companies that hire them contribute tons of money to the politicians.
If we had more Sen. Fred Smiths in this country and more national leaders like Tom Tancredo, we’d have solved this problem years ago.
