(TheConservativeTimes.org) – American patriots are praising President Donald Trump for signing an executive order that makes English the official language of the United States for the first time in history.
The landmark decision fulfills a long-held conservative goal to unite Americans under one common language while eliminating wasteful translation services that have cost taxpayers millions.
Signed in the Oval Office, the executive order marks the first time in American history that English has been designated as the nation’s official language at the federal level.
This move aligns federal policy with more than 30 states that have already made English their official language, bringing consistency to government operations nationwide.
President Trump’s order rescinded former President Bill Clinton’s Executive Order 13166, which required federal agencies to provide services and materials in multiple languages for those with limited English proficiency.
The new policy gives government agencies and federally funded organizations the freedom to choose whether to offer services in languages other than English, potentially saving millions in taxpayer dollars previously spent on translation services.
The president’s action reflects growing concerns about national unity in an increasingly diverse country.
Since 1980, the number of Americans speaking languages other than English has increased dramatically, creating challenges for government services and communication.
President Trump’s order addresses these challenges by promoting a shared language that enables all Americans to communicate effectively with their government and each other.
“Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society,” the order read.
The executive order emphasizes America’s historical connection to the English language, which was used in founding documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
It also highlights how a common language promotes national unity and creates pathways for civic engagement that benefit all Americans, regardless of their background.
Previous legislative attempts to make English the official language have failed in Congress despite broad public support.
President Trump’s executive order bypasses this legislative gridlock, taking decisive action where Congress has stalled for decades.
“In welcoming new Americans, a policy of encouraging the learning and adoption of our national language will make the United States a shared home and empower new citizens to achieve the American dream,” the order also states.
Critics of the order, including some Hispanic advocacy groups, have voiced concerns about its impact on immigrant communities.
However, supporters point out that the order actually benefits immigrants by encouraging them to learn English.
“Speaking English not only opens doors economically, but it helps newcomers engage in their communities, participate in national traditions, and give back to our society,” the order explains.
The White House has emphasized that the order will be implemented in accordance with existing laws and budgetary constraints.
The Attorney General has been tasked with rescinding previous policy guidance related to Clinton’s executive order.
The AG’s office will also provide updated guidance that reflects the new policy priorities of promoting unity, efficiency, and shared cultural values through a common language.
For millions who have watched their government cater to non-English speakers at taxpayer expense, the order represents a return to common sense governance that puts Americans first.
By streamlining government communications and encouraging English proficiency among immigrants, President Trump’s executive order promotes national unity at a time when it is needed the most.
