Language is the national glue!-----Sen. Gillibrand Urges Trump Admin to Reverse Order Making English Official US Language | The Epoch Times

The Democratic senator from New York said millions of her state’s residents could lose access to critical federal services. - Chase Smith
Signed by President Donald Trump on March 1, the order revoked a 2000 directive from then-President Bill Clinton that required federal agencies and federally funded programs to expand access for people with limited English proficiency through multilingual materials and services. 
  • It declared English the nation’s sole official language, saying a single national language will promote unity, streamline communication, and improve efficiency in government operations...
  • It instructs agencies to inventory and phase out “unnecessary” multilingual services, temporarily suspend LEP.gov—the federal government’s main public site for language access resources—and consider English-only operations where legally permissible. The department also recommends redirecting savings from translation services to English language education and assimilation programs.
