English as the Official Language of the United States

English as the Official Language of the United States

Nearly half of 50 states have passed a law making English their official language. Other states have also considered passing English-only bills that brings a huge polemic in Congress and public. The history of English-only laws starts as early as 1906 when Congress had voted a law that required immigrants to speak English if they want to become the citizens of the United States of America. Since than many laws have been introduced to Congress in favor or against English-only bills that affect all immigrants and their future generations. The nation is divided on this issue. Public support has exceeded 65 percent in some opinion pools.1 English-only is no longer a fringe movement.

There are many different opinions about whether English should be the official language of the United States of America. U.S. ENGLISH and ENGLISH FIRST, two national groups spearheading this legislation, started small in the mid-1980s. Drawing support mainly from direct-mail contributions, they have grown steadily in budgets, staffs, and influence. H.R. 123 the leading "Language of Government" bill in the 104th Congress, boasted nearly 200 cosponsors.
