Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with legal immigration into the United States. All of my ancestors came here that way. I just don’t understand why anyone would want to live here and refuse to learn English. And if they are going to refuse, then why should I have to pay for it. If you are unable to read a legal document, a ballot, or anything else written in English, then hire a translator at YOUR expense. And don’t say I’m trying to take away your culture, because I’m not. Please feel free to publish newspapers in your language, and celebrate your traditions and holidays at your cost. The cultural diversity of this country is one of its great strengths. Speak whatever language you choose with your friends and relatives. Speaking more than one language gives you an ADVANTAGE in life, not a disadvantage. It just shouldn’t have to come out of the American tax payers wallet.
