Foreign Language Spoken In 20% Of U.S. Homes

[CShine]

Nearly one in five Americans speaks a language other than English at home, the Census Bureau says, after a surge of nearly 50 percent during the past decade. Most speak Spanish, followed by Chinese, with Russian rising fast.

Some 47 million Americans 5 and older used a language other than English in 2000, the bureau said. That translates into the nearly one in five, compared with roughly one in seven 10 years earlier.

There also were more people considered ''linguistically isolated'' because of limited English.

California, New Mexico and Texas had the highest percentages of residents who did not speak English at home, but the greatest increase occurred in states that experienced explosive Hispanic immigration: Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina.

1. Uh Oh!

Looks like it's time to propose a Constitutional Amendment to make Amerikkka an English-Language only country. That will protect our way of life and family values.
