Senate Votes to Call English ‘Common Language’ of U.S.

Muy bueno:

As part of the ongoing debate on immigration reform, the Senate on Thursday voted on two amendments to make English the “national language,” as well as set a “common and unifying language.” The first definition was pushed by Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., the second by Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said the goal of President Bush’s immigration-reform plan is to make sure that at the end of the path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, people have command of English.
