En América, hablamos inglés

And it's not just me that thinks so...

According to Rasmussen: 85% Support English as Official Language Of U.S.

"Eighty-five percent (85%) of Americans believe that English should be the official language of the United States. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 adults found that only 11% disagree and 4% are not sure."

Wow. I knew there was pretty strong support for such a measure, but 85% is overwhelming. And it's not a partisan issue, either.

"Making English the nation’s official language is favored by 92% of Republicans, 79% of Democrats, and 86% of those not affiliated with either major political party."

There's not much of an age gap.

"It is supported by 91% of those over 40 and 78% of those under 40. "

Or a gender or income gap.

"There is little difference in the views of men and women or across income categories."

And it's not a race issue, either.

"Eighty-eight percent (88%) of white Americans support English as the official language along with 76% of non-white Americans."

I bet you more than a few illegal immigrants are talking among themseves and saying: "You know, my friend, maybe those protests were not such a good idea after all."

Or, "Tu sabes, mi amigo, esas protestas no era quizá una tan buena idea después de todos."
