Language skills Benefit ., writer says 1 am not sure i understand the Point that a writer was trying to make his English As the official Lan Guage letter decs he actually believe the United Stales is great danger because of the Many languages american arc Able to speak if anything the United slates is a great country because of he diversity of our Many people and the Many languages thai americans can speak fluently. For the Many there i would like to remind them of the Many times different Ameri cans have come Forward with their skills such a during world War ii when someone got the Bright idea of using Navajo indians As radio operators to confuse the japanese. It did just Ilia. Radio messages could be sent the Clear and understood by no one except another Navajo. spite of All the racial hatred directed against them japanese americans proved invaluable As translators. If situations Centra America would Ever gel hot the wealth of Spanish that the army could draw would prove limitless. Then is hardly a country Earth that docs not have american who can speak its language flaw Lessly. Spile of this wealth Many americans As of Hie have been pushing their language ignorance and american arrogance around a futile attempt to anglicized everything. How Many times have we seen americans Paris or Frankfurt standing around looking dumb hoping someone will be kind enough to speak English to them far too often i am afraid. As far As i know there has never been a question of English being the natural american language. Coming from a hispanic background we spoke both English and Spanish at Home but fell both languages were our languages and never Felt that one language was Superior to another. It is Only because English was spoken he 13 colonies that English was adopted by americans. A " Rue american docs nol have to speak English o be considered a True american nor docs he or she have to be while or protestant. Americans could just As easily have adopted chinese As their own Lan Guage americans have settled from All pans of the world nol just from England and we Are not lied to England anymore. I have a sick feeling that this English language controversy is merely the work of a few racists who have become increasingly fearful of immigration both Legal and illegal of hispanics who addition to heir High birth rate tend to live their own communities compounding the problem even fur ther. addition o this hispanic migration several thousand asians from Vietnam and other Southeast asian countries have moved into he United Stales the last few years. Racists Are preying this fear that americans have against their new countrymen to Force this English legislation through Congress a weak attempt to show them who is the realistically speaking it is going to take a lot More than passing a rather stupid unenforceable Law to Slop americans from speaking their native language. For the super racists Why nol build a Wall along he .-Mesican Border contracting East germans 10 work it after All they Are experts Wallsend perhaps diverting Money meant to Leach English la Nan English speaking americans have these geniuses thought about the possibility that if English is passed As our official language that perhaps another language could also pass such As Spanish or vietnamese the United states is nol danger of becoming a us of Babylon As this writer complains but Hai the possibility of becoming something much worse if this ridiculous Law is passed.
