I still speak Spanglish and my Spanish is rusty because I don’t speak Spanish as much. I have 3 boys and they all speak English. They are Hispanic and white. I have never taught them to speak Spanish and a lot of people ask me why. My feelings for not speaking Spanish are that we speak more English because we are in America and that is the language spoken primarily.
For an immigrant to believe English should be the official language is surprising and a powerful statement, because it is not even their natural language and yet they still believe it should be the official language of the United States. One argument Hayakawa provides is the fact that for centuries the Chinese and Japanese did not get along. In the United States during World War II, there was an abundance of Chinese and Japanese immigrants in the country. It wasn’t until they both learned how to speak English did the two groups finally get to know each other. This proves how having a common language can bring diverse groups of people together.
Citizens can now access the information held on them by some 100,000 organisations. This act came into full force n 2005 yet even though public authorities are required to publish more information there are still many which can withhold information on the grounds of public safety or national security. In the respect this reform was of little impact as many companies can excuse not giving away information by claiming its for national security or public safety. One reform which has had a major impact on the constitution was devolution. Britain, at best can be described as quasi-federal as opposed to unitary state or a federal state.
The Irish, Italian, and Japanese all play a significant role in the immigration history of the U.S. and they all have similarities as well as differences. All three of those immigrant groups were at first denied many things in America and they were not paid well by anywhere they worked. With that said though, the Irish and Italians never had to go through anything like the internment camps that the Japanese dealt with while at the same time the Japanese were not being constantly insulted for everything about them by Americans like the Irish were for so long. These are all ethnicities that make up the United States today and without them and their immigration history, the country would not be the same as it is today and we would be lacking that ethnicity in the melting pot that is America.

While country-wise speaking, Mexico is the one contributed the largest number of immigrants – 94,783 (13.7%). The study on multicultural issues in counseling has been on for decades, and as the ever-increasing number of immigrants and foreign aliens, the awareness of importance of multicultural respects in counseling has increased, too. Normally, multicultural study does not provide a clear distinction between American minority groups who have lived in the major society for a significantly long period (ex. minority born and raised in the USA) and those who newly immigrated. Although the latter group can be facing a much more extreme challenge of cultural difference, they are rarely studied as a distinctive subgroup (Brilliant, 2000).
we speak English. Nevertheless, the English language is one of the more difficult languages to learn and I can understand why many immigrants may feel overwhelmed and intimidated when faced with learning a whole new language. This is why, I believe, the U.S. should implement a required program specifically designed to aid incoming immigrants in learning English. This would especially be constructive for those entering the workforce and will absolutely have a positive effect on the future of those that complete the program. Although, at this point in time, the United States does not have a National language I still believe a helpful program should be put into action.
People from around the globe migrate from their own countries to the United States looking for a better life. When these people migrate to the United States so of them don’t make time to learn English language so they can communicate and read in English. Instead of learning English and reading paper work in English, they get papers from the government of other important papers in their own language, which makes them think that they don’t have to learn English. If the United States makes English the official language people that come to the United States they will have to learn how to speak, read, and write in English to communicate. It will encourage other people to learn the
The problem with unemployment is that no one is spending money and putting the money back into the economy. This is exactly what happened in the United States when we entered the Iraqi war people wanted to save their money more than spend it. The problem is the citizens in Puerto Rico probably are not saving nor spending money. This is where the theory that Puerto Rico has not changed much since the 1952 takeover by the United
Immigration Sharitte Smith, Andrea Jenkins, Wendell Williams, Cynthia Henman, LaShonda Nowden BCOMM/275 10/4/2012 Ashley Becker Immigration Citizenship is important in every country. It makes the people in the country who they are and gives a person a right to work, live, and benefit from the country, as well as practice politics. Without a citizenship it is hard for a person to survive in a country. There are hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the United States today and many of them do not have a citizenship. Some have a green card that allows them to work and live as a citizen but they cannot be involved with politics.
I think so, even though people maybe think otherwise. Without the English language where would we be? Who knows, we could all be speaking French or Spanish, however that is not the case. Reality is, the English language is one of the world’s official languages and it is the official language in a lot of countries. English is also the dominant business language and it is necessary for people to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce.
