From the Daily Nexus -- America is known as a melting pot of cultures, religions and customs. It is the diversity that immigration has brought to our shores that has shaped the superpower that we now are. Yet as a melting pot, these cultures, these customs, are intended to fuse into a predominately American persona, the American culture and what it is to be an American. Without a culture of our own, unity amongst the peoples of our great country cannot exist. If we are to be united under the Stars and Stripes, then we must truly be defined as a nation that is out of many, one. The English language is one of the most dominate cultural connectors that Americans have. It is the common language, an American cultural trait. Mandating English as the official language of the United States will promote unity, economically benefit the nation and empower the immigrants who contribute so much to America.
