And it does not discourage any of us from learning English. Worries over the corrosive influence of languages other than English have a long history in the United States. Reflecting on America’s openness to immigrants and the need for newcomers to assimilate, Theodore Roosevelt wrote that “we have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans of American nationality and not as dwellers in a polyglot boardinghouse.” Today, nearly 80 percent of people in the United States age 5 or older speak exclusively English at home, according to the latest American Community Survey. For the others who speak another language at home, Spanish is the most common alternative, and more than 60 percent of those Spanish speakers also know English “very well,” the survey finds. Safe to say, we have yet to take up residence in Roosevelt’s boardinghouse. In 2023, when JD Vance was serving in the Senate, he sponsored the English Language Unity Act.
