One Language
This is not going to sit well with some but I firmly believe that a country should have one common language. I am not saying that immigrants can no longer speak their native language but they do need to be able to function in the country they come to. I understand that some businesses will offer service in that language if it is in their business interest but that isn't helping in the long run. There are some things that build a community. Family ties and friendships, common faith, a language, and same traditions and morays. A single language binds people together. Mutliple languages split people and cause strife. Canada has never truly settled their language issues between English and French. I can see the possibilities of the US doing the same about Englishh and Spanish. This is not to put anyone down but only pointing at the need for a common language to do business in.
