The US government must make a greater effort to get foreigners to speak English.
Foreigners who barely speak English (China towns, for example, some Hispanic immigrants ) lead lives by gathering together and forming intimacies only within their own communities leading to disintegration and isolation from the mainstream population, and ghettos gathering of households. The rest of the country, outside the ghetto community is alien to them. Cosmopolitan community is a nice thing. It provides diversity of people and culture. The Irish, Chinese and Caribbean parades are an exposition of diversity of people. Yet a common language such as English, can contribute to better the progress and well being of people. The US should officially declare English the official language of the country.
