Some people don't understand that English is pretty much the most difficult language to learn.

Well, western one.

Learning another language is hard in general.

And once these people are here in sufficient numbers, they can start electing their own people to city councils, county supervisors, state and Federal positions.... and eventually vote in Sharia Law.

The values put forth in our (and all Western) Constitution are not weak. When people come to a free country, they become free people. Criminal elements will always use various ideological excuses to exert tyranny on local populations, but that subsides with development.

We do not need to fear foreigners overtaking the political philosophy of the Western world. Theocracy has absolutely no chance against an understanding of natural rights.

Fear of the usurpation of Western values by theocracy is illogical. There are, I believe, two major explanations for such a condition:

1. A lack of understanding of socially natural rights, how they are arrived at and what makes them inalienable (not inviolable).
2. A sympathy with theocracy due to religious conviction.

Which is relevant to exactly what?

It should be obvious why Arabic is the "fastest growing". The language population is minute. Going from 5 to 10 exceeds every other minority group's expansion.

True.

Many people in the US speak more than one language and English was not the fist language they learned.

Still doesn't negate the fact the US should have English as its common language.
