When I was President, we made English the official language of the United States. Common sense, right? One nation, one language. It brought people together, it made us stronger, and it sent a clear message: if you come to America, you learn the language, you become part of the American Dream.
But now look at what’s happening in New York. Total disaster.
Under a new law from July 2022, New York is forcing state agencies to provide free translation and interpreter services in 12 different foreign languages. That means if someone doesn’t speak English, the government bends over backwards—interpreters, document translations, the whole thing. Paid for by—you guessed it—you, the taxpayer.
They say it’s compassionate. I say it’s insanity.
Immigrants used to come here legally, work hard, learn English, and build great lives. Nobody gave them government translators. They didn’t want handouts—they wanted opportunity. And English was the key. That’s how you get a job. That’s how you succeed. That’s how you become American.
But today’s politicians don’t want that. They want control.
When the government provides everything—language, paperwork, you name it—people become dependent. And when people depend on government for everything, guess who’s in charge? The bureaucrats. The elites. The people who think they know better than you.
And let’s not forget the cost. All this translation? All these services? It’s expensive. New York already has some of the highest taxes in the country. Now working families are footing the bill so the state can operate in a dozen languages. It’s madness.
The truth is: a country without a common language is a country that’s divided, weak, and unstable. We need unity. We need English. We need to bring back pride in being American.
We don’t build strong citizens by making everything easier in their native language. We build strong citizens by challenging them to rise, to learn, to grow—and to speak the language of freedom.
America doesn’t need more government clients.
