To become an American citizen, we require people to read, write and speak in English. That is to help them to assimilate in our melting pot, truly to become Americans. We mock that when the cherished right to vote does not involve English any more.

There's a huge cost that comes with illegal immigration.

For 180 years, we voted in English. That is the true American tradition, and this amendment is true to our heritage, not what has existed unnaturally for the last 20 years.

There are reasons for believing that the English increase will far surpass others, and that the diffusion of the United States will ultimately produce the general population of America.

It's one thing to be writing in South or Latin America, where, except for Brazil, every country, however small and hard to find on a map, speaks Spanish, but quite another to be writing in, say, Hungary, a landlocked nation of 10 million people, with a language that very few people outside Hungary can read or speak.

Our government is printing money, and it's degrading the living standard of every person in America. It's the cause of frustration, anger, and confusion.

And in Canada we, you know, it costs us three or $400 million to have an election. You know, it's always been my position that we shouldn't complain about that; that's the price of admission for a living in a great democracy.

My opinion is that more languages you speak, better it is, but when you come to America, you speak English.

Language has historically stood as a barrier for some voters seeking to participate in the electoral process.

As American taxpayers know too well, the tax code is incredibly complex and compliance is all to expensive.
