Title: News Article: Legislator wants immigrant families to keep native languages
Body: From http://www.delmarvanow.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080306/NEWS01/80306044/1002/NEWS01 FOREIGN TONGUE: Legislator wants immigrant families to keep native languages By Laura Schwartzman March 6, 2008 ANNAPOLIS — Maryland lawmakers want to fix a "critical shortage" of foreign-language speakers in the United States by urging immigrants and their families to preserve their native tongues. Sen. James Rosapepe, D-Prince George's, said his bill to establish a task force on encouraging "heritage languages" will benefit the economy and national security. "[We must] hold on to this tremendous competitive advantage for America," he said at a Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee hearing Thursday. While learning English is important for immigrants, Rosapepe said the state's population of foreign-language speakers is a vastly underutilized resource. Nearly 14.5 percent of Marylanders speak a foreign language at home, according to the bill's authors.
