No, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
Yes, but the government should provide free language learning courses
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
Yes, and remove multilingual translations from government documents and services
@ISIDEWITH9yrs
No, but remove multilingual translations from government documents and services
Do you think if you moved to Mexico the Mexican government is going to teach public school classes in English or Vietnamese or Sri Lankan? If you want to live in the USA you must assimilate and learn the English language. How on earth can an immigrant contribute to our society if he is not able to read our road signs?
@5M6P2JC2yrs
All Americans should be multilingual.
@4Y97QND2yrs
No, America doesn't have an official language. If you move to Sweden is it required to learn Swedish? No, it's just suggested
No but we should provide ELL classes for all
No, but schools, hospitals, government services, etc. should not be required to provide translation services; with the exception of those immigrants who have, or plan to have children - they should be required to learn English and teach it to their children, who will be required to attend American schools.
@963V6RH1hr
No, but encourage them to learn english and offer courses for them to take.
@963TZQ32hrs
Yes/no people need to read for driving, medicine, emergencies etc but requiring is no good
@963SSY44hrs
No, it should be encouraged however. Also provide free language courses
@963SCQV5hrs
No but they cannot complain if they do not understand people.
@963M7YL8hrs
Yes, and they should be taught it at no cost to themselves should they comply with all requirements to be citizens
@963FGX312hrs
its 50/50 they should learn English but if they can't learn it then it's not their fault.
It is already required to become a a citizen of the US, I don't think Required would be the word I would use rather than suggested..
Yes, because it's they main language of the U.S.
@9633RLP20hrs
If they came here legally and made that county their new home then they should want to speak, read and write that country’s language. It only hurts themselves when they don’t.
@962ZQV71 day
If they choose to they can it would just be difficult if not
@962YB8T1 day
No, but free classes should be provided, and they should have a translator with them or easier access to communicate with those who speak a different language
@962XPM71 day
No, but the government should provide the option to get free language learning courses.
@962XFJS1 day
No, but offer incentives to companies that hire immigrants to offer ESL classes
@962MTPY1 day
No, I don't think it being required helps any. Government took enough cultures
@962M42J1 day
If a job requires it then they should learn it but if not then they should have the freedom to keep speaking their own language
@962BXNN2 days
No, but the government should provide free language courses to help, as well more multilingual translation.
No. Unfortunately the country has not agreed to a national language. If there was then yes.
@9622MBCIndependent2 days
Not required, but encouraged by way of funding ESL programs
@95ZZ3JH2 days
No but they should be encouraged to learn and provided spaces to learn for free if they want to.
No, but the government should provide free language learning courses to help those who find it a necessity to learn English in their life, which may not apply to every immigrant. If they choose to live somewhere in America where knowing English isn't absolutely necessary, making it mandatory may be more of an inconvenience.
I don't think it should be encouraged rather than requird, they should be able to speak their native language without having to be forced to essentially forget it.
@95ZMXNRRepublican2 days
Yes, but there should be more push for Americans to be Bilingual
@95ZM8472 days
I believe they can continue speaking in their own language and if they desire to learn English they can.
@95ZM4BZ2 days
They shouldn't be allowed here because they aren't doing anything good for our country.
@95ZKHFP2 days
Must be required to speak lithuanian.
@95Z9DZX3 days
No, although the government should still provide free language learning courses because it's very difficult to live in the US without speaking English. At the end of the day, though, it should be the immigrant's choice whether or not they learn English.
@95Z8VM53 days
No, but I think it should still be highly encouraged for an easier everyday life.
@95YWL363 days
No, but the government should provide free and/or low cost language learning courses.
@95YSPHN3 days
Highly recommended but it's their choice
@95YRGP23 days
It should be ENCOURAGED but not mandatory.
@95YN4PM3 days
It would be wise for them to learn English but not mandatory.
@95YB7RX3 days
No, they only need a basic understanding.
@95Y3NZM4 days
most immigrants lean when they come over
No, but encourage them to do so and allow free language learning course
@95XZZLG4 days
Yes, it will be easier to communicate. People do this in other countries too.
@95XVG7D4 days
Yes, if at all possible, for practical reasons that help to protect them. But they should never be expected to give up their first language, that can actually help and protect all of us. However, I also believe that assimilation helps to unite the country more. Therefore, I think we should remove multilingual translations from government documents and services.
@95XTPSF4 days
It should be encouraged but not mandatory.
@95XJ5QS4 days
No, the United States has NO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE!!!
