President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday, which makes English the official language of the US.
This move will open the mandate from the time of Clinton, which required federal agencies and federal financing recipients to provide language assistance. Now these agencies will have flexibility in determining whether to offer services in languages ​​other than English, although the order encourages “new Americans to accept a national language that opens the door to greater possibilities.”
By order, President Trump “confirms that the common language promotes national cohesion, helps newcomers engage in communities and traditions and enriches our common culture,” said the information sheet.
According to the American universal list, most of the Americans – over 78% – spread only English at home. But millions of Americans speak primarily in other languages, such as Spanish, Chinese and tagalog. Dozens of Indian languages ​​are also used in the USA
Over 30 states adopted legislation to describe English as an official language.
Since the civil rights of the 1960s, several provisions have been transferred to provide services or equal possibilities for non-language persons in American Republicans in Congress, also tried-the provisions of the Polish national language.
Vice president JD Vance He introduced the Act on the unity of English when he served as a US senator of Ohio. The proposed bill, sponsored by Senator Kevin Cramer (R., ND), called the Federal Government to conduct all official activity in English and introduce a language testing standard for the path of citizenship.

Perfect. It is long, long behind schedule.
America is not only an abstract “idea”. It is a nation and people, with our separate history, heritage, culture and language.
We speak English in this country.
It is high time that our rights reflect it. pic.twitter.com/pzqjnq7afj
