Frustration towards my op-Ed topic

To begin with my op-Ed article is about Spanish speakers needing to learn English if they want to be an American citizen. In my opinion I do agree with the fact that they should know some English but the article they talk about how gov., wants to make English the national language in which I totally disagree because were supposed to be living this free country yet they want to obligate them having to know a lot of english. As I had read along the main question was what were they going to do about the immigrants having to know English. However the answer would not be changing the language of English into our national language because it would give the immigrants a type of dull feeling that they want to live in this free country yet, they are obligated to know English. However I do believe that they should know a least a little bit because majority of America speaks. So back to the question the correct answer would have to be having classes for Spanish speaking and have them in a class that teaches some English so that later in life they know what is going on , also they would have to take a test to become a full legal citizen of America such as, know the amendments and the constitution. Having the oppurtunity for the Spanish speakers or for any non English speaker is such a great idea because it will help with them having jobs to have money for their families.
