Thanks Ohio lawmakers.

I didn’t even know a state had jurisdiction over a thing like this. I would think that whatever language(s) is/are the national language(s) would also trickle down to the states.

Making English the official language when we can barely teach our kids (not just the ones who immigrate here from a place where English is not their first language) English is laughable.

Many international satellites of American businesses do not trust America because they have seen too many instances where profits take precedence over ethics and understandings.

Having people who can establish strong bonds does facilitate business even if it involves speaking a foreign language.

So many of us enjoy ethnic foods and music, perfume and spices, how bland life would be if we were all the same.

The first step is often to understand, I am totally devoted to Italian culture. I love their clothes, food, wines and architecture & design. If I could retire in Italy. I would but I can’t so I admire in silence and ecstasy all that this very tiny country has produced and continue to offer the world. I get “Italy”.

Jonathan, you know you aren’t making a comparable argument. And you also know exactly what this bill aims to do – use immigration as a wedge issue.

Please – you do yourself and your very good brain no good by obfuscating.

You are excellent at debate – so debate the issue. But don’t use an example that has no resemblance to the U.S.
