The U.S. nationality law requires applicants to have a working knowledge of the English language in order achieve citizenship. In 1990 the government passed exceptions to this requirement for older applicants and those with mental or physical disabilities.

Yes and all citizens should be required to learn another language. This training should be free of charge for all citizens and should be a lifelong privilege.
@9TJ5P9W8mos8MO
No it shouldn't be required but it should be encouraged and the government should provide free language courses
No, but make language learning courses more accessible
@9VQL5FS7mos7MO
No, but provide free language learning courses, and encourage learning English to best assimilate with English speakers.
@9V7PLHJ7mos7MO
I think it depeneds on their choices if they want to learn english, If they do they should be given free english learning courses in order to learn english more easiliy
@96KKJWV3yrs3Y
No, but the government should provide free language learning courses and incentivize them
@8XYHG573yrs3Y

@8SFTKXH4yrs4Y
Regardless, all immigrants should be sentenced to death
@8SFHLH24yrs4Y
Yes, but only basic level English
It should not be enforced but it should be highly recommended to learn at least the most basic English words and phrases
@8Q7HJBW4yrs4Y
No, Immigrants should have to learn English if they don't want to and the same is the other way around, although we do need to invest more in hiring translators, letting people join optional language courses, and providing translating apps in workplaces for easy communication.
@8PYGFC54yrs4Y
No but if they do it should be an affordable class that anyone can take
@8PWNKLJ4yrs4Y
No, immigrants should not be required to learn English, and English speakers shouldn't be required to learn an immigrant's language, however foreign language classes will be offered for those that choose to learn and there should also be more translators (both people and apps) offered to places of work.
@8PB95JH4yrs4Y
No, but govt should provide free services
No, immigrants should not be required to learn English unless they want to and the same is true with English speakers learning an immigrants language. However more foreign language classes and translators should be required.
@8MXDZQ45yrs5Y
Yes, but just basic and simple.
No, but they should learn how to speak English in case others don’t speak their language. There should be a medium where both parties will understand each other.
@8M8G26S5yrs5Y
No not unless they choose to
No but the government should provide free English learning course
@9C98GGN2yrs2Y
No, but we should provide more recourses and incentives for them to do so. We also need to fund foreign language much more than we currently do.
@97Z66DR2yrs2Y
I think businesses should require it as a skill for interacting with people. Not necessarily the government b/c that kind of goes against the 1st amendment.
@8XHBWSW3yrs3Y
Not required but strongly encouraged through language learning courses.
@8GL7RZY5yrs5Y
No, but provide free courses for those who choose to learn English
