LOL, good for them for having this ordinance.
English should be the official language of the country.
It is still a requirement for citizenship, although I don’t know how stringently that is enforced.
Local TV interviewed a guy this morning who has been in the U.S. for 15 years, is an “undocumented visitor” and is scheduled for deportation. He could not speak English so they had someone translate. Just irks me to no end.
First of all, he is an “illegal” and common courtesy requires that you speak the language English, particularly after being here for so long. We visited several European countries in the past and always made sure that we could speak common phrases in their native tongue.
IMO, the ability to read, write and speak English should be mandatory prior to granting citizenship. Don’t care what people speak, read or write in their own home but when in public English should be mandatory.
Still required for citizenship. It's just the citizenship itself that is not enforced.
