America?

Language and nationality It is not uncommon to walk down the streets

of an American city today and hear Spanish spoken and other speakers.

What will happen if Americans declare English is the official

language?

Recognition of English as the official language, they argue would stigmatize speakers of other language and make it difficult for them to live their daily lives.

This is law abuot immigrants.

That law attempts to attract more skilled workers and professionals to the US and draw immigrants from countries that have supplied relatively few Americans in recent years.

It does this by providing “diversity” visas. In 2000, some 50,000 people entered the country under one of three laws intended to diversify immigration.
