Discurso del Presidente

"El éxito de nuestro pa??­s depende de que ayudemos a los recién llegados a asimilarse a nuestra sociedad y adoptar nuestra identidad com??ºn como estadounidenses. Los estadounidenses estamos unidos por los ideales que compartimos, un aprecio por nuestra historia, respeto por nuestra bandera y la habilidad para hablar y escribir el idioma inglés. El inglés es la clave para aprovechar las oportunidades en Estados Unidos."

The above paragraph is how the official White House website translated the following words from President Bush’s nationally televised speech on immigration reform: "The success of our country depends upon helping newcomers assimilate into our society, and embrace our common identity as Americans. Americans are bound together by our shared ideals, an appreciation of our history, respect for the flag we fly, and an ability to speak and write the English language. English is also the key to unlocking the opportunity of America."

Yes, the Bush White House is now posting the President’s speeches, statements and radio addresses on the immigration issue in both English and Spanish - but no other languages. Yet.
