Michael Roth: “To address the question my friend from Texas raised, the question I think can be asked, what harm would this amendment…”

On the recordMarch 20, 1996
To address the question my friend from Texas raised, the question I think can be asked, what harm would this amendment cause? The amendment would cause no harm. I think that we do have a problem. We do have a problem today with English. We do have a problem that our country is breaking up into linguistic groups. I was on a call-in show in Canada, and one of the people called in and said, ``Don't you Americans realize how fortunate you are to have this one language, this commonality? Look what is happening here in Canada, where they are tearing the heart out of our country. Yet in America, you have hundreds of little Quebecs.'' I think that is clear.
