Like me, most Americans have close ties to immigrants, whether is is this
generation, or one recently past. But in my family, I never heard the
outright hatred for American culture and values that I hear from some of
today's immigrants. Laws compelling bilingualism will increase the divide
between the groups, and increase the hostility.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what some people want, and those are the people
behind bilingual initiatives. It is not intended to work in the best interest
of the immigrants at all.
