You’re not understanding the comment you are laughing at.
There was no legal change, there was an operations change in how the federal government does things.
It’s still legal to speak whatever language you want and you don’t need to speak English
It's all about twisting laws to disserve whatever collective they go after, so their voters (voters believing they are antagonists of the other collective) keep satisfied and vote again.
Meanwhile they give contracts and move money and services towards their friends, the ones that financed their campaign so they can bring the message about the evil collective to the voters.
One of the oldest tricks in the world.
