President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring English as the official language of the U.S. has sparked mixed reactions in South Florida, a region known for its linguistic diversity.
Supporters argue that the order promotes unity. Some residents express frustration with businesses operating primarily in other languages, believing English should be prioritized. Others see it as a logical step since English is already the predominant language.
Critics view the move as unnecessary and politically motivated. Many believe it won’t change local practices, as Miami remains a multicultural hub where Spanish and Creole are widely used. Despite the mandate, local governments are expected to continue offering translations.
