The U.S. nationality law requires applicants to have a working knowledge of the English language in order achieve citizenship. In 1990 the government passed exceptions to this requirement for older applicants and those with mental or physical disabilities.

@8R7HVRV5yrs5Y
I think learning English is very important for immigrants to learn just because it is such a prominent language in our country and literally every school, hospital, business, products, goods and services, are English based. So if they were going to go to the store or something, they need to know English. If they are trying to find a hospital, they need to learn English. So, it should be a priority to teach immigrants English, but it does not need to be enforced to the point they aren't allowed any rights or prohibitions. Translators and resources are equally as important in helping immigrants navigate the US.
@8Q7HJBW5yrs5Y
No, Immigrants should have to learn English if they don't want to and the same is the other way around, although we do need to invest more in hiring translators, letting people join optional language courses, and providing translating apps in workplaces for easy communication.
Yes, but allow for instruction in Spanish and other languages if students want to learn another language too.

@8NC9LMZ5yrs5Y
No, English is not the official language of the U.S., I do believe immigrants should make the effort to learn a common language, like English but it should not be mandated

No, but we should provide chances for them to do so, however, we need to accept all cultures and languages.
