Miami and other major cities have had bilingual signs for decades. What's the big deal?

Because this is the United States of America, and not the United States of Mexico? (Or any other country in the world)

Exactly. I live in the Wash metro area. The ATMs, self-checkouts in grocery stores, automatic answering for municipal services, DMV, etc. all have Spanish language options. The signs in public parks and musuems are in Spanish and English.

Signs aren't free. That's the big deal.

Same in parts of Texas.

It's fear.

What's the big deal? The President highlighted the importance of 'assimilation'. Bi-lingual signs,,,and bi-lingual telephone recordings, etc--only serve to INHIBIT assimilation. The ones being harmed--are the immigrants whose assimilation is delayed by this kind of pandering.
