No one is fully capable of moving up the economic ladder in the United States without proficiency in the English language. What one speaks at home or in one's community is a matter of choice. The world's economy runs on English and America is an intrinsic part of this.

We must avoid becoming soft economic racists by not pushing for a level playing field for all.
