"The United States has always been a multilingual country, and this gives it strength…Citizens of the US and of all democracies inevitably have different linguistic ways of navigating their lives, and enforced monolingualism never achieves national unity…'Official English' policies do not improve economic prospects for those who arrive in the US speaking another language, nor do they improve communication for those who live in multilingual communities…Supporting and promoting multilingualism makes a nation stronger, not weaker."
