Dont worry about knwing English for visitors but to live here you should naturally know some, and to be a citizen you befineitly should pass a proficiency examination!
But no type of rules, restrictions, criminal background checks, English tests matter if we do not IMMEDIATELY seal off our border from those law breaking border jumpers!!! |

No, not to just visit. To move here yes! |

I think the same should apply to people using this site!!
Now sit back and wait for the flak. |

not if they're only visiting.
But if they're going to live in the U.S., they need to know english. |

No, of course not!
I'm not proficient in all the world's languages, and I travel with a phrase book clutched protectively in my fingers.
Mind you I expect to be the one to put in the effort to communicate when I travel.... |

What a dumb question. You make some americans feel ashamed to be americans |

not to visit. I love visiting other countries and could never learn their languages. I can't hold people to a standard I would have to be held to as well.
If they come on work/student visa, amnesty, or to gain citizenship, they should at least hold conversational English skills |

This question made me laugh because many citizens are not proficient. No, not a good idea. Tourism is big business. |

No. |
|
?
|
It would make sense. How can anyone visit a foreign country without having basic skills to communicate? |
|

No, I don't. I think if you are staying here and making it your home, you should be fluent enough that you can understand and make yourself understood for basic purposes. But it would ruin tourism and people's chances to visit and consider legally immigrating if they had to learn English well first. |

I think law abiding people should be free to come and go, no matter what language they speak. However, that does not mean that any foreign language should be accommodated in the United States. |

Sure. Just think--in a crowded theater (especially in these times of terrorism) one must be able to understand the commands of 'run for your lives!' or whatever. |

No way. What if they are desperate and the situation in their home country is unbearable? And I don't see why you have to be proficient in English just for a visit. |

YES !!! I don't feel I should be walking through a store and have a ton of foreiners walking around me speaking in some off the wall language. We are in the middle of a war, so who is to say they aren't talking about blowing us up? I mean serious !! |
