all we need to do is finally declare a fucking official language, and enforce it.
sure, that throws the whole "melting pot" thing into confusion, but think about it - forcing a single language for everyday service is what helps put everyone on the same page.
that, throw out all the illegals, and stop allows the legal ones to use their children as language slaves and instead force the adults to learn the language if they want to live here. So many times their kids have to be interpreters because the adults refuse to learn the language.
How do you enforce a language?
There are many different cultures in this country that speak other languages. Why are you singling out Hispanics?

IMO, this does not single out hispanics...There should be an official language in these United States. Employers should not be required to post signs in any other language, governments should not be required to offer driver's licence tests, voting information, or any other type of form, or government service in any other language than English. If the foreign speaker requires an interpreter, it's incumbent on THEM to provide the interpreter...at their expense, not the government's.
Illegals from ALL countries should be rounded up and sent home, whether they've "snuck across the border," been smuggled in by ship's containers, over-stayed a visa, whatever. Any property they've accumulated while they're here illegally should be confiscated and sold to help offset the costs of rounding them up, housing them until they're deported, any attorney fees, and, of course, the costs of transporting them back to their native land. (sort of like the"ill-gotten gains seizures used against drug dealers and organized crime)

like Boomer said, it's not singling out only hispanics.
However, hispanics, latin-americans, mexicans, whatever they want to refer to themselves as, depending on where they come from... are the largest language minority. The various Asian languages/dialects are also impossible to avoid, and then there are the various Middle Eastern language speakers.
However, it isn't about it being any group - nothing against the actual people. Any country needs to have a single language, because it makes it easier to provide services for everyone. Less wages to have specialty employees to provide services to the minority languages, less confusion, and improves the process of getting everyone on the same page.
There isn't anything morally wrong with having an official language, it's actually for everyone's benefit. Sure, that forces individuals who don't know the language to well, learn it, but... so? Anyone planning on living in a foreign land should learn that land's language, don't expect hand outs. But then again, that's what our country does so well - handouts.

Guys, I feel the same way, but long ago I learned to keep Politics and News INSIDE P&N.
If you dont cut it out now I'm gonna ask the mods to lock this thread. It was only meant to be fun and perhaps enlightening. Neither of which is currently happening.

How so? No one says the people for whom English is a second language are forbidden from speaking their native tongue...only that English be the official language of the USA and that government agencies and businesses conduct their business in English.
I see nothing wrong with peoples maintaining their native tongue and culture. That is part of America's rich heritage.

In the not too distant future, Spanish speakers will probably outnumber English speakers in the US. If they replace every instance of "English" with "Spanish" in your sentence I assume you would still advocate what you say.
There is a certain degree of arrogance in expecting speakers of other languages to conduct their business in your language, unless you are also prepared to make efforts to communicate with them in theirs.
