Shane99 —As I understand our form of government. .

It is governments role to get out of the way and not interfere in citizen affairs.

What you describe is a pseudo-parent, not a government.

Again here is what you forget, our form of government is one that acts in the interests of its citizens. Preventing efficient communication hinders every aspect of life in our nation, and government has a responsibility to ensure that we are one nation, not a conglomoration of disparate communities. Teach people English and provide them translation services while they are learning. Effective communication does not weaken us.
