President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday designating English as the official language of the United States, according to the White House.
The order will allow government agencies and organizations that receive federal funding to choose whether to continue to offer documents and services in language other than English, according to a fact sheet about the impending order.
Designating English as the national language “promotes unity, establishes efficiency in government operations, and creates a pathway for civic engagement,” according to the White House.
Within hours of Trump’s inauguration last month, the new administration took down the Spanish language version of the official White House website.
Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion and frustration at the change. The White House said at the time it was committed to bringing the Spanish language version of the website back online. As of Friday, it was still not restored.
SMDH at the improved performance Donnie diaper had with Hispanics this cycle, the leopards feasting.
You’d think they’d be upset! But I know too many Latinos who take pride in distancing themselves from other Latinos. There was at least one celebrity who apparently forgot her *monolingual* native accent after a few months abroad because of course she did. 🙄
