A new ordinance makes English the official language of Cherokee County, Georgia, and a bill has been introduced providing for English-only forms and documents across the entire state. What do you think about requiring immigrants to use English?

"I think if they move up here they ought to learn our language and if we move down there, we would have to learn their language." TONY HOWARD Ninth Grade "I think immigrants should be able to speak their own language and we should be more open to speaking their languages and also learning more about their languages." MEGAN WATERS Direct Care Trainer "I think they should speak English if they're going to live here." JOSHUA HUNNICUTT Student "I think it can be a motivational tool. I think it will prompt people who want to learn and sometimes even force them to learn it a little bit quicker. In a work environment, the language barrier that's created can put people in an unsafe condition." ANDREW BASS Maintenance Supervisor
