How much money does our country waste printing documents in different languages??

May 20, 2009

All government documents now have to be printed in at LEAST 2 languages, and I have seen some that may have been printed in 8, or more. How much money do we spend catering to all of these fringe minorities?

Plus, don't you have to speak English to be a citizen, anyway?

There should only be ONE document in this country printed in other languages: The document to sign up for English classes.

—By the way, I am not saying people in our country should not be bilingual. In fact, I love the Hispanic culture, and it's language. But, if you want to live here, it should be REQUIRED that you speak English. However, we should also continue teaching our kids second languages. It never hurts to speak two languages, as long as one is English!

I guess is a lot of money…Yes it should be English ony…Is optioonal to learn a second or as many languages you want…But that is optional not a law…I myself I am a US citizen original from a Latin American country…And I learn 6 languages and English when I moved here I just speak and write English and I am OK with that so…
