So let me guess what the new official language would be? Farsi, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese?

It would be like California where every document gets printed in a zillion languages and interpreters for any of dozens of obscure languages are available free on demand.
It's really nutty but it is California after all.

The state should remove their city charter and all road signs with that name removed.
It should be treated as county property, like farm land.

You mean there is somewhere in this country where English is the official language? Who knew? Should be nationwide. The one and only government language.

We're in the majority. The people who love this country and want it to be all it was created to be have the numbers unlike the wokesters who don't have the numbers, but still have the microphones. People, though, are tired of their divisive messaging and aren't listening. They've turned them off.

To @#2: SURPRISINGLY, English IS the official language of California.
"English is the official language of the State of California. ... The Legislature shall make no law which diminishes or ignores the role of English as the common language of the State of California."

Spend a week in Montreal, or a few hours reading about the Province of Quebec and their approach to language. Years ago, Canada shrugged their shoulders on the issue of language in the province, and it's obvious today that they made a huge mistake.
One country, one language. We welcome you with open arms, but you must assimilate. Pretty simple.

This struck me funny because many people think that we Pennsylvanians do not speak English. That can also be said for New Yorkers, New Englanders and those good folks south of the Mason Dixon line. That's what makes us America but if we have to choose a language, let it be English. Do younz guys agree?

Should be easy to pick out the illegals who voted. All 3,000 of them.

The Allentown area has long been an area where illegals go to live. There is a large Hispanic community in the Allentown area.

There needs to be something done about the language in Boston, Massachusetts you almost need subtitles to understand them. Ben Affleck pulls it off well. I understand Swamp People in Louisiana better than a Bostonian accent. All kidding aside we live in a 50/50 split populated area in the southwest the other predominate language is Spanish. We seem to get along just fine most signs are double language mostly in medical facilities not on street signs, yet.
Happy language day and what is the language the fraud president speaks, man from out of space maybe. Let's go Brandon.

Bring it up again in another ten years, by then the illegals and the Muslims and the Samali's will probably win.
