Immigrants who want to become U.S. citizens should learn English, President Bush said yesterday.
"I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English, and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English," Mr. Bush said in response to a question about whether the anthem should be sung in Spanish.
A Spanish-language version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," rewritten to include lines such as, "My people keep fighting. It's time to break the chains," was released yesterday. It has infuriated those who say the anthem should only be sung in English.
