No Hablo Ingles

Senator Harry Reid has come out saying that the bill to make english the official language is racist. He says that the bill unfairly targets Mexican immigrants. Shocking as it may be I do not agree with the Democrat from Nevada. I think english should be made the official language. It is the language that most of the civilized world knows and is taught to students of practically every nation. The main goal of this bill is to ensure that immigrants are properly assimilating into the culture of the United States. It may seem trivial to some but the language connects us to one another. In a way we become united despite are melting pot of backgrounds and ethnicities. We should not have to spend the time teaching english to students which takes the time away from other students and holds their education back. This is just one part of the immigration debate and as on many points the Democrats are blind on the issue.
