- New whitehouse.gov website has only English-language content
- Obama administration made a point of including Spanish on its main website
- President Trump made a point during his campaign of urging Spanish-speaking immigrants to ‘assimilate’ by learning to speak English
- Chairman & CEO of advocacy group ‘U.S. English’ says there are 323 languages spoken in the U.S. and Spanish shouldn’t get special treatment
- It’s unclear whether the English-only site is temporary or final but White House press secretary Sean Spicer hinted that Spanish content could be coming
I hope it stays that way—this is becoming America again!
And no ashtrays. Even the one Barky had on the loading dock is gone.
Maybe Jeb Bush could get a job handling all the mail from Spanish speakers.
I got the impression that although Spicer said that they were working on the spanish content that it’s not a high priority.
Press 1 for “Fuck yeah!”
Everybody’s knickers gonna be in a twist.Ha!
annie Go Trump
The Spanish site should redirect to a site that sells courses in American English.
I’d like to see them add a link:
‘Aprende Ingles Aqui!’
Learn English Here
And have free online instruction in English for them. I would be happy to see my tax dollars helping people assimilate.
I work with some Hispanics and the ones who are quite fluent in both English and Spanish often complain about how the Spanish translation on some government documents often doesn’t match the English parts clearly. For that reason alone, it would behoove them to learn as much English as they can. By the same token, I have no problem learning a bit of Spanish from them in exchange for letting me help them with their English when necessary.
Puerto Rico is a US territory. Shouldn’t the Spanish-speakers there be able to view the website in their language?
ho72
Their government dollars are printed in English!
If they don’t speak English send them to Puerto Rico.
ho72, Trump better get right on that, or PR might choose independence.
ho72: Which brings up the point, why has not PR, after 140+ years after the Spanish-American war, not been required to learn english?
Now if they can just find the Muzzie WH site and take it down….
English is the language of the U.S. Any other questions?
Se habla wall?
