Overview
"More than half of U.S. States have made English their official language, and nearly three-quarters of Americans believe that should be the policy; nationwide.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 73% of American Adults think English should be the United States' official language. Only 18% disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here)."

However: "The majority of migrant and seasonal farmworkers are immigrants; 84%t of whom are from Latin America, particularly from Mexico.; significant numbers of African Americans, Asian immigrants, Caribbean immigrants, and Native Americans remain part of the agricultural workforce; Mexican immigrant agricultural workers are diverse, coming from urban as well as rural Mexico, with at least one-quarter being from native communities which speak an indigenous language (See Arcury, Estrada, and Quandt, 2010).

Scenario
A small group of French-speaking Caribbean farmworkers on a Texas farm reported to their English-speaking American manager, feeling alienated when Mexican coworkers talked among themselves in their native tongues. The farm manager was stumped as he and other administrators knew little French and Spanish; he did not understand Mexican and Caribbean cultures. On investigating the complaint, Mexican workers explained that using their native language helped them bond and help each other interpret workplace safety rules written in English. This is an example of primary cross-cultural conflict based on nationality and/or ethnicity and respect for language as a key component of identity.
