I believe that if you live in America you should speak English. I wrote to my senator and this is his response:
Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 769, the National Language Act of 2007. I appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts with me. The National Language Act of 2007 would establish English as the official language of the United States of America. This legislation would prohibit the use of languages other than English for official purposes other than religious activities and foreign language classes.
I am working in Congress to bring people together and not to divide our society. It is a fundamental value of our society that we respect and appreciate the diversity of American Society. While I strongly favor those who wish to become citizens learning American English, creating a national language would create a larger divide between English-speaking and non-English-speaking citizens. We must ensure that everyone in this country is afforded equal opportunity
