Do we really need to post all those signs written in both English and Spanish? The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 stated "
Where an employer’s workforce is comprised of a significant portion of workers who are not literate in English, the employer shall be responsible for providing the notice in a language in which the employees are literate.
The National Labor Relations Board also mandated that when 20 percent or more of an employer’s workforce is not proficient in English and speaks a language other than English, employers must provide the posting in the “language employees speak.”

Some states have also passed their own laws requiring signs be printed in both English and Spanish. Many times, you also hear the "Press 2 for Spanish", when listening to an automated phone service.
Couldn't President Trump do away with that by means of an Executive Order? And maybe declare our official national language to be American English?
Seems to be bigotry and the type of Nationalism*** for which Trump has been correctly criticized. That aside, have you, the reader, ever traveled to foreign countries? My experience in foreign travel (I only speak and read English) is I have needed help in everyday activities.
For example, my wife and I stayed in a small town between Milan and Venice, and walked from our hotel to a Restaurant. No one in the Restaurant spoke English, and when we received our order (Appetizer, Salad, Pizza) we had enough food in the Appetizer (deli type meat, cheeses, olives, peppers, pickled veggies) we didn't really need an entire bowl of green salad (with tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, beans) and a half a loaf of bread, followed by a Cheese Pizza the size of a man hole cover.
***an extreme form of this, especially marked by a feelings of superiority over other countries.
