No, America doesn't have an official language. If you move to Sweden is it required to learn Swedish? No, it's just suggested
All Americans should be multilingual.
Do you think if you moved to Mexico the Mexican government is going to teach public school classes in English or Vietnamese or Sri Lankan? If you want to live in the USA you must assimilate and learn the English language. How on earth can an immigrant contribute to our society if he is not able to read our road signs?
No We have no national language
alot of them do already learn english and this is an ignorant question
No but we should provide ELL classes for all
No, but schools, hospitals, government services, etc. should not be required to provide translation services; with the exception of those immigrants who have, or plan to have children - they should be required to learn English and teach it to their children, who will be required to attend American schools.

No, unless applying for jobs where English is required.
No, there is no official language in the United States and insisting people learning English is bigoted.
Yes, but I also believe most Americans should at least try to learn another language.
No, but resources should be made available so they can.
No, but encourage them to learn the primary language of the country. Provide resources.
No, but provide private language services
It should be encouraged, and the government should provide resources for doing so, but not necessarily required.
Yes, they should at some point understand English if coming to live in the US
Yes, because there are racist people in the world.
No, but offer services that allow them to learn English at no cost.
No, but they should have access to courses to help them learn English if they choose to.
Depends what part of the country they are immigrating too.
No, but increase incentive to learn and use English
Free language options should be offered to all. Citizens and immigrants
no that is the persons choice the government should never infringe that right
Yes, in the same regard, I believe that all Americans should be placed in a second language from the onset of school, all the way through HS graduation.
One should be have a basic understanding of the language should they decide to immigrate.
Yes but the government should help them find language learning courses
Required...no, but provide opportunity for them to learn.
they just should not be here
Yes, but only basic knowledge of english so they can get by.
yes if they want to become a citizen
Strongly suggested but embrace the diversity
It shouldn't be required, but heavily recommended and if they take it up, there should be free language learning courses.
No but free English lessons should be readily available.
No, it should not be required but have the option available to those who want to learn English.
They should be required to learn English or another language traditionally spoken in the U.S. (like Navajo or Louisiana French).
No, but for their own sake, they should.
No, however the government should offer them free language learning courses in the instance that they do want to learn.
No, but learning English should be encouraged and will help them greatly in practice.
Encourage but not require it
Immigrants (going to any country) should have a basic understanding of the country's language. If you go to France, you will need French, so if you come to the US, you will probably need English)
No, but no special protections should be afforded immigrants based solely on an inability to communicate with English-speaking citizens.
Yes, it is a required skill to be able to apply for citizenship, or establish residency.
Make English the National Language of the US and have it taught in all public and private schools.
Keep it to personal choice, provide free lessons, and interpreters
yes for benefits in understanding what people are saying, that doesn't mean they SHOULD talk in english, only when its necessary.
No, but we should provide language learning courses that are easily accessible.
No, however, our country is predominately English based, so it would behoove them to learn English. I used to lived in Taiwan, and I learned Mandarin to survive there and show respect to others.
No but offer a free service
No, but they shouldn't expect our support.
i feel as if you go to a Spanish speaking country, you should want to learn the language, but if you dont want to, you shouldn't be forced to.
