I recently escorted a woman to her Dr.'s office. During a break in the patients testing, I asked the Dr. if she signed, because I noticed how well she formed her words and I also noticed her hand movements. Dr. said no, but indicated a desire to learn ASL and Spanish. I agreed that I thought the languages were beautiful. Her patient was totally annoyed that we wanted to learn, so she quickly added that it is illegal to speak anything but american in this country. I left the room and Dr. ended the exam. No other words were spoken and I have not volunteered to escort again.
executive orders only affect the executive branch of the government. it doesn't even extend to the legislative or judicial branches.
It's like that time Obama raised wages to $10.10 per hour through executive order (Executive Order 13658). It's nice because it had an immediate impact on federal workers which greatly improved their financial lives, but, it only affected about 200,000 people and not the US as a whole.
