Years ago, c. 2003, a young friend of my sons was denied job after job in suburban VA because he didn’t speak Spanish. Two days ago I spoke with a friend who teaches in Montgomery County, MD. She said her school is going bilingual next year, and many on the staff are having to take an involuntary transfer, and she will likely be among them.
The long term effects of this are not good for the US.
A Heartland-Florida strip-mall store near me might as well be named "Abierto's".
That's what the only sign says (abierto)and there's no English words present.
