“Agency heads are not required to amend, remove, or otherwise stop production of documents, products, or other services prepared or offered in languages other than English.”
Why NOT? Having government documents in various languages sends a contradictory message - that English really is not the official language of the U.S.

Phone message:
Press 1 to hear a message about how you should have learned English if you were going to live in the United States.

I like the thing that says kids cannot attend American public schools if they don’t have a working knowledge of the English language. Sending school boneheads to Spain to hire teachers to teach them in Spanish already blew up in their faces back in the 90s when California tried it. Come to find out, they don’t speak Spanish. They speak pidgin Mexican.

As it was in the past and ever should be, make proficiency in it a requirement for attaining to citizenship by immigrants.

Well, it’s about time. Spanglish is not an option, and get rid of the Spanish road signs and all of the other crap. Our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, all written in English. Learn it or go back to wherever.

It’s a good idea. I worked for an international company with facmilies in the US, Europe and Asia.

To make it easier, the European overlords decreed that ALL business for that company would be done in English ... whether the plant was in the UK or Germany or China.

It worked out fine.
