English has always been our language, official or not.

WOW!!!! At least they are not Bias!!!

Nice to see a Country do that. We in Canada have only two official languages but I believe we should have more as we are a multicultural Country with immigrants from many different Countries, we even have a Few American's who gave up their American Citizenship which I understand cost thousands of dollars to do. One was Canadian and one was American. They are embarrassed with the Trump administration and feel he is in bed so to speak with Putin.

You must be German speaking?

So who ever is in Power makes their language the official language and you are ok with that???

I'm not sure where you're getting any of that. I'm a native English speaker, though happen to know German decently enough since I lived in Germany for a year.

There were a lot of German speakers in the nascent US at the time the Declaration of Independence was drafted. The Founding Fathers despised England, and considered adopting German as an official language for the newborn country mostly, I think, to honk off the English.

I don't think the US should have any kind of "official" language, to be clear.

This is progress?

Telling citizens they don't matter is progress?

Well, maybe by racists like you and all the other Trump supporters.

Having diversity is good. We used to be the melting pot of the world, and this was our strength. Now it's Murica, Murica!, MURICA! YUH!!!

All while raising our food prices again. Yeah such respect from the Liar-in-Chief.
The site racist chimes in!


Just so you dunda heads know,
immigrants that come to this country may or may not learn the language, but you better believe that their children *do*.

That is simply because the children unilaterally do not want to be ostracized and isolated, that is a sad lonely way to live.
The democrats, however find gain with such people, and i t is to keep them forever dependent.

thank god these immigrants have more common sense then a democrat

Then, What is stopping us, the USA, from having the website in all 190 languages of the world. You are silly as usual. No logic. You have no logic.
Trump.

As usual.

He doesn't like nice things.

That's why we can't have nice things.

We've had quite enough of that from this White House.

Yes, the kids pick up English even if their elders don't.

Having Spanish versions of some government websites is not going to cause the kids to not learn English. Quit being so blindly hyperpartisan, throwing common sense out the window just to jab at Democrats. It's pathetic, and Putin pays poorly for such services.
