“A White House fact sheet about the order claims that making English the official language ‘promotes unity, establishes efficiency in government operations, and creates a pathway for civic engagement.’ None of this is true. Instead, the order threatens the availability of multilingual resources that families depend on to live productively in the United States. Envision, for example, trying to understand healthcare forms and legal documents, let alone filing taxes, studying for citizenship, or voting without materials in a language you understand. Moreover, the United States has always been multilingual, and we have always been a nation of immigrants.” (03/17/25)
