America Not Its Own Country Without Its Own Language

The German philosopher Emmanuel Kant said, “Language and religion are the two great dividers.”

CNS News reported this week: 44.6 percent of people living in California don’t speak English at home. In Texas, 35.6 percent; in New Mexico, 34.5 percent; in New Jersey, 32 percent and 31 percent in New York.

Today, in New York City, with nearly 40 percent foreign-born immigrants, that city boasts 800 different languages being spoken instead of English. In Denver Public Schools, teachers must teach to 173 different languages via endless immigration from around the world. In California, voting ballots feature 20 different languages to deal with millions of immigrants that cannot speak or write in English. (Source: Denver Post, “173 Languages in Denver Schools”)

Note this reality: a language creates a person’s worldview. Different languages create different worldviews. Multiple worldviews create fracturing and fragmentation in societies, in countries and in all organized systems.

Former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm said, “A nation is much more. It is a state of mind, a shared vision, and a recognition that we are all in this together. A nation needs a common language as it needs a common currency.”

A person who speaks multiple languages enriches him or herself in linguistic skills that must be appreciated. A country that boasts multiple languages cannot survive the linguistic chaos created when people cannot and do not understand one another.

Today, you must press “1” for English, “2” for Spanish, “3” for Chinese and “4” for Arabic in cities dominated by immigrants around the United States. Entire cities in southern California speak only Chinese. Others speak only Spanish. Place like Detroit, Michigan, only Arabic scribbling dominates storefronts and phone answering services come only in Arabic. Additionally, in Moslem dominated areas of Miami, New York City, Detroit and Minneapolis—Arabic dominates the schools and you will not see any “Stars and Stripes” featured in homes, schools or storefronts.

If the United States Congress continues the current immigration onslaught of over 1.2 million immigrants annually to total over 100,000,000 (million) legal immigrants by 2045, English will not be the majority language within 30 years. Spanish speakers expect to become the majority ethnic group by 2042.
