Americans are divided due to the fact that it is considered to be English official language United States under the new Trump administration.
US citizens in the whole country said this month Fox News Digital what they think of the recent executive order of President Donald Trump to make English an official language in America. Although many believed that the mandate was carefree, others said he was flying in front of American diversity.
“I don’t agree with that. I think we’re a melting pot,” said Shane, a Kentucky resident. “I mean, this is how the country was built hundreds of years ago – based on a group of people from different nations who entered the formation of this country.”

Trump signed an executive command On March 1, celebrating the first time that they have ever had an official language.
The text of Trump’s order states: “National certain language is in the heart of a unique and cohesive society, and the United States strengthens citizenship that can freely exchange ideas in one common language.”
The command added that the official language is intended to “promote unity” and “nurture a common American culture for all citizens”, while ensuring consistency in government operations and creating a way to a civil engagement.
About 180 of the 195 countries around the world have already set their official languages.
Steve from Birmingham, Michich, told Fox that he thought Trump was “100 percent absolutely correct” to sign the order, noting that “there should be no other language” officially appointed.
Junior, a Mexican-American who lives in Houston, said he respects the command.
“I’m a Mexican, but I’m an American and this is America, you know what it means? So, America, it’s English, you know what I mean?” he said.

However, Mary in Washington, DC, said, “I think it’s not fair.”
“I think we have to be multicultural and I think the more diversity, the more beautiful the country is, the more enriched we are learning something else about someone else,” she said.
The resident of Michigan David shared Mary’s position, saying, “I think there is no official language for a reason. We are a polyglot country. We have nothing but immigrants from all over the world.”
He stated that when the US Constitution was ratified, “40 to 50 languages were probably spoken in the United States.”
Houston Darryl said, “I think English should always be the official language of the United States.”
Originally from Tennessee Glen, he was less self -sufficient to the topic, stating, “It’s hard to say, really. I don’t know that I necessarily agree with this because we have people from all different nationalities. So, I have no strong thoughts about that or other way.”

Lindy and Trudy – two Houston friends – they scored an executive order.
“I think it’s wrong,” Linda said. “We are not there. I think we were there, you know, in the 1950s. You know, or at least it is what all adults are – my generation grew up thinking. But it just is not a reality in today’s world.”
Trudy added, “I think we are a mixed nation of different people and we have to face the fact that not everyone will speak English.”
Asked if he supported the command, the Howard of North Carolina told Fox: “Yes.”

“I’d rather everyone speak English, but I also respect people and their cultures and their languages when they come to America,” he said.
Charles, a Mississippi man who toured DC, was strong in his defense of the order, saying, “You know, we are Americans. English is our language.”
