Hi Cayenne, first a disclaimer I am not a US citizen/US resident. That may make my post non-relevant in your eyes. The US has no official language in its constitution, in their wisdom your Founding Fathers either did not consider it relevant or decided to let the door open to non English citizens. I think most if not all European constitutions address official language. You may also be interested in knowing that when you acquired (i.e. bought) Louisiana you granted the inhabitants the right to speak French. That was also the language used in the Treaty. Also I would like to point to you that you "acquired" Texas Nevada and Nuevo Mexico, their inhabitants spoke mostly Spanish. But i agree you need to be careful about all those immigrants. Look what happened to the Mexicans who allowed a group of settlers to move to Texas provided they did not engage in political activities nor conspire to secede the territory... oooppss. Those were you, sorry you may not like to be reminded about that. So once again congratulations for bringing the myth of the totally ignorant american to life once again for the pleasure of the / population. To the Americans here who know their history better, I am sorry guys i could not let this one pass. To the Europeans, don't get too excited folks. I look at kids in my own country now and their culture and their interest in culture are dropping so fast. We will all be like Homer Simpson really soon.
