Asking Congress to get of it’s ass and do something positive

This EO rescinds EO13166 which Clinton signed in 2000, which mandated that service be provided to non-English proficient people at any facility which accepted federal money.
It converted the US into a multilingual country overnight, and was opposed vociferously by such organizations as English First. And a massive phone campaign, which Billy Jeff ignored.
