No. But their desire to become a functioning part of American society, as opposed to isolating themselves into a closed cultural community, should be considered as we evaluate them for citizenship.

To a limited extent. The diversity is good for the country, as a whole. But developing communities that live outside the laws of the country is not allowed.

No. Don’t force them to assimilate but also don’t print official government documents in anything but English. If you can’t read and understand them then you shouldn’t be voting.

Not forced. Should be willing to try. Schools should be in English. Road signs in English. My grand parents were proud to know English and work hard to learn it. Same with the wife’s grandparents. In their day everyone in NYC were immigrants. They learned a little spanish, a little Italian, a little Yiddish. Growing up in an ethnic diverse city like NY you heard every language but schools were in English.
People keep their traditions and spoke their native language at home. But on the streets it were English. It’s not that hard.

I don’t understand how conservatives can talk about how bad the government is and how big it is and about how they shouldn’t force you to do anything. But then a question that asks if we should force immigrants to assimilate a majority of conservatives vote yes.

No, if you're a citizen, you should have the same freedoms as everyone else. Of course, they won't get very far if they don't at least learn the language.

I'm not sure of what is meant by forced vit I think speaking and reading basic English should be a requirement. They can use their own language and culture in their home of course. America is a melting pot unlike any where else. For instance, France has pockets of middle eastern citizens that have no idea what being French is. They don't speak the language and hence are isolated. America is a large country and to travel, for instance, you need to be able to read signs.
