The Senate voted yesterday that the U.S. is to have a National Language.
"After an emotional debate fraught with symbolism, the Senate yesterday voted to make English the "national language" of the United States, declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in a language other than English except for those already guaranteed by law.
The measure, approved 63 to 34, directs the government to "preserve and enhance" the role of English, without altering current laws that require some government documents and services be provided in other languages. Opponents, however, said it could negate executive orders, regulations, civil service guidances and other multilingual ordinances not officially sanctioned by acts of Congress."
Harry Reid has tagged the Nationl Language Amendment as "racist."
Thirteen Democratic Senators voted for it, one Republican voted against it. The Roll Call is here.
So, we are to build a Berlin style wall, mandate a national language, and guard the border with thousands of National Guard troops. And when are those national ID cards coming?
The troops haven't even arrived yet and already shoot-outs at the border have begun.
But who is going to protect us from ourselves?
