Poll shows huge majority want foreigners to integrate and learn English for citizenship

WorldNetDaily:

Two-thirds of Americans believe immigrants should integrate into the U.S. culture, according to a new poll.

The Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 17 percent believe immigrants should maintain the culture of their home country while 67 percent believe newcomers should "adopt America's culture, language, and heritage."

Seventy-nine percent say immigrants should be required to learn English before they are allowed to become citizens. Just 14 percent disagree.

Rasmussen said similar attitudes were found in a February survey showing overwhelming opposition to letting illegal aliens obtain drivers licenses or receive government benefits such as Medicaid.

The now poll also found that 64 percent of Americans believe U.S. schools should teach all students in English. Twenty-nine percent believe some schools should offer courses in different languages.

Broken down by political affiliation, the poll found more Republicans favored cultural integration than Democrats.

Eighty-four percent of Republicans and 78 percent of Democrats say that learning English should be required before citizenship is offered.

Seventy-eight percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats believe that immigrants should adopt U.S. culture.
