Trump declared English as the official language of the US. I don' think this is a bad thing, it was required to get citizenship.
Give me a break. The only reason Trump did this was to emphasize his racism, make it more difficult for non-english speakers to understand government publications by eliminating multilingual versions, and signal to his followers that they should denigrate people who are not native english speakers.
Yes, I agree, completely racism based.
However, I think too many folks believe they never have to put in the time to learn English. It's the "lingua franca" that unites us and should be a common bond.
