thanks, I'm posting that introduction here because this organization was formed by LEGAL IMMIGRANTS

Making English the official language

U.S.ENGLISH, Inc. is the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. Founded in 1983 by the late Senator S.I. Hayakawa, an immigrant himself, U.S. English now has 1.8 million members nationwide.

Mauro E. Mujica, an architect and international businessman as well as an immigrant from Chile, has been the Chairman/CEO of U.S.ENGLISH Inc. since 1993 and prior to that, served on the Board of Directors beginning in 1992. Because of his commitment to keeping this nation unified through a common language and his own experience as an immigrant, Mr. Mujica has succeeded in making U.S.ENGLISH Inc. one of the fastest-growing interest groups in the country.

U.S.ENGLISH believes that the passage of English as the official language will help to expand opportunities for immigrants to learn and speak English, the single greatest empowering tool that immigrants must have to succeed.

Have been doing this when ever possible. Any product that I can buy that has mutiple language on the package and the product beside it only has english (even though my be a bit more expensive) I buy english only.

I also when ever hiring anyone to do work at my house. It is written into the contract no one speaks any language except English in my house an on my property. If this is broken it is a violation of the contract and they do not get paid. They are also asked to leave.

Even though we should not have to pay more to do this. WE all pay enough taxes (which goes to pay for benefits for illegals) I will pay more for the satifaction, that no one in my home is illegal and I am not funding them anymore than I already do in the form of taxes.

Personaly I have no problem with an international product showing multiple languages (keep in mind that some countries send over exported goods to a wide range of countries) however businesses and government agencies in this country SHOULD NOT ENABLE THOSE THAT WISH TO LIVE HERE IN THE USA the ability to be lazy and not learn English. Allowing Hispanics to NOT LEARN AT LEAST A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH is allowing them to be a lazy traitor of our society and nothing less. This also allows illegals to have it MUCH EASIER to live here and those that AID THEIR RAPING OF OUR COUNTRY to support them.

I have no issue with the Spanish language but I WILL BE DAMNED if I will be forced to learn that language for ANY REASON in my own country. There are various portions of our country now where if you dont know Spanish no one will understand you. From what I understand of the citizenship and business laws you MUST know a working knowledge of ENGLISH in the USA to sign for ANY LEGAL DOCUMENTS OR TO BECOME A LEGAL USA CITIZEN that means anyone that does not learn at least a working knowledge of ENGLISH could very well be breaking various laws. Just another form of possibly condoned illegal and organized activity.

If any of us English speaking people went to LIVE in another country it would be considered PROFESSIONAL COURTESY to learn the primary language.. Hispanics that dont at least try to learn English are basicly spitting in our faces. To anyone who thinks that this is not a problem remember this.. if you have kids or if you need assistance due to a medical or other emergency and no one nearby knows English.. you or someone you care about may die due to your condoning of their laziness. I have met teachers, emergency workers, airport employees, government workers, etc..etc...etc.. that could barely, if at all, speak English. This is not a little problem, it is an language barrier epedemic that should not be tolerated.

I was in home depot a week and a half ago when a message comes over the speaker system in spanish. Did it repeat in english ???? NO!

Probably due to a family that didnt speak English trying to find their kid in the store. OOPS, another immigrant that refused to learn English. Pretty sad we need interpreters everywhere we go.

Speaking of intercoms.. I dont mind international oriented locations speaking various languages through announcements like theme parks, airports, multinational gift shops or restaurants located near travel centers, etc.. However, businesses that operate in the USA should not be enabling people that live here to not have to learn the primary language.. English. Examples, signage, billboards, bilingual announcements in dept stores, etc.. that is bogus. We didnt, nor do we, do this for any other nationality.

Thanks.

My old eyes are weary of trying to read the tiny print on packaging labels that has of late become even smaller to make room for everything being printed in both English and Spanish!

Suppose I can't read the warning labels on my medicines because the dang print is so small?

The Home Depot I go to has a bunch of Mexicans who work there, but cant speak english. Next time you go there, visit the garden department.

I really like the enthusiasm, but we need to avoid the "appearance" of targeting existing citizens (or legals) that have difficulty with English. I also think this would be an extremely uphill battle (if we target all dual language companies) that would be hard to win because it doesn’t single out any one company these days.

We need to keep it simple so we can get as much people behind the idea. We should also make sure that our reaction appears to be directly aimed at illegal acts, such as the drugs coming across the border or employing illegal immigrants.

If we can determine a list of companies that are known to hire illegals, such as Wal-Mart, and get everyone behind the boycott, then we can effectively get this company’s lobbyist to do our bidding in DC. Also, by keeping it simple, we don’t come across as anti Spanish or anti-anything that is not illegal. The key to avoid comments of “racism” is that we focus on the legality of a specific act. This is very important.

Also, to get DC to listen to us, we need to come across as thoughtful, focused, and determined to enforce the fact that we are a nation of laws. Laws being the key. We do not want to give anyone any ammunition against this cause, as focusing on someone’s speaking abilities might. We need to be one step ahead at all times.

I agree that we need to remain focused but there is a critical element that cannot go unnoticed. The massed majority of our problem with illegal immigration is coming from those that REFUSE to speak any English whatsoever and EXPECT US to cater to them by making written and verbal communications available to them in Spanish. As much as one can aim the traitorous acts of hiring illegals at companies who are aiding and abetting known criminals the toleration of allowing Spanish speaking people to not learn English is in itself aiding and enabling them to make it easier to infiltrate our country, sign documents, work, and live here. If English was the only language tolerated they would find it 1000% harder to function in our country. This is how they are buying houses, cars, working, buying goods, going to our schools, using social services, handling money etc.. because Spanish is now almost as prominant in many parts of our nation as English is.

I have no issue with the Spanish language but unfortunately its propagation in our country is only making it far easier for illegals to function in our country. We do not cater or enable ANY OTHER LANGUAGE in anywhere near the capacity we do Spanish.. and the illegals are taking great advantage of our complacency and toleration of what is amounting to a second primary language in this country. What makes them so special?? If its because they have the 2nd most used language in the world.. Im sorry but that is no excuse. The most used language in this country is still English and has been since this country started.

This is one of the most critical advantageous and weapons against our culture that is being used by the illegal immigrants.

Thanks.
