In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as legal immigrants flooded our cities, escaping poverty, war, and lack of opportunity, the American melting pot had many languages spoken at home.

You cannot achieve your potential as an American in the job market, academically or even socially, without reading, writing and speaking English well.This country used to be about making your own wealth, not benefiting from someone else’s. While Americans’ reading and writing skills hit new lows, English is the dominant language of the sciences, commerce, media, entertainment and diplomacy.
Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio has reintroduced a bill long championed by former Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma that has been languishing in Washington since 2005 to encourage stronger English adoption. It’s time to finally pass the English Language Unity Act. Americans understand how important this issue is. A 2013 Gallup Poll showed that 72% of Americans, across all ethnic and political persuasions, believed it was essential for immigrants living in the U.S. to learn English.
