Since the US doesn't have an official language, what's his basis for this?

Sounds like it's time for blue states to withhold our tax dollars. We are literally funding the civil war the GOPQ has declared against anyone who isn't a white whining man.

It's "All Threats, All The Time". Unlike normal, rational adults, the Trump sycophants have no other playbook. Just imagine being a child or spouse of one of these creatures ...

Then where is the funding for that? The gov’t tried to withhold title 2 funding. If you want more ESOL programs, where is the finding to start them, grow them, recruit for them?

It's OUR fucking money! California, especially, pays more taxes than it takes in funding. What if they just... stopped. Used their tax money as they saw fit alllll on their own?

New Mexico is not a donor state, but Washington and Cali are. As much as we like to pretend the US civil war was based on pro vs anti-slavery, the North wasn't that progressive; it was about economics and State vs Federal power. Blue states would win for the same reason the North won last time.

Organizations need to start playing the Republicans’ game and just say they are enforcing them. Say how dare you lie and claim that we are not enforcing English language requirements. We will sue you if you keep making false accusations. Then do whatever they want and just ignore Trump and Duffy.
