I like the idea of cowards like brokeloser fuming and grumbling under his breath when some people ahead of him in line at the grocery store speak to each other in a language he doesn't understand. A language like ENGLISH.
So does the Constitution.
Paranoid cowards like broke loser always think "they must be talking about me!" when 99 times out of 100 they are talking about the price of kale or some such. Once in a while its "why is that weirdo making faces at us?" Even better is when the broke loser type turns and looks at me expecting solidarity with his paranoia. If I'm in a good mood I'll just ignore it. If I'm not in a good mood, I'll return with a "what the fuck do you want?" look. That does it every time. I only really get pissed when the checkout person (rarely) acts rudely or demeaning to a person overtly because of something like race, or accent, or ethnicity. Then the checkout person shrinks two sizes as I read the riot act before demanding the manager. I reserve this option for only when absolutely necessary.
In addition, if you need an interpreter to get your welfare, you are required to supply your own-----We don't pay for it.
Provide citations if you can. Yikes.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

Wikipedia isn't exactly pinnacle of facts or accuracy as contributors toss things in.
Nobody is saying they want to force that woman to speak English. But, people are under no obligation to be able to communicate with her in her language, either. So, when she comes up to my counter and gives me a 5 dollar bill for a 10-dollar item, and turns to walk out, I am calling the cops on her for robbery.
If people want to get official info from the government, then they should learn English. They most certainly should not demand government accommodate them by printing official documents in another language.
That would never happen, and if it did the cops would be mighty pissed - AT YOU.
Constitution.
I don't care. Cops aren't gonna arrest me for pissing them off. But do this a few times then maybe the immigrants will get the hint that they are not wanted here.
Quote it.
Do it a few times and maybe when a real crime occurs the police will take their sweet time getting to your wolf-crying ass.
I have. Hundreds of times.
Except the phone I use to call them from would be from the shop, which is different from my home phone.
Not to me. Now kindly quote it or I know you are full of shit again.
Yeah, they would know. "Oh, it's that pain in the ass shop with a false alarm again. Let's stop for coffee. "
