Donald Trump (R)
Donald Trump receives an overall grade of: B
Donald Trump receives a grade of 
on the issue of Official English.
Donald Trump single-handedly brought the issue of English into the center of the 2016 presidential politics by criticizing Jeb Bush for using Spanish on the campaign trail. At a September press conference, Trump asserted in a very general way that English is America’s language, and that it is necessary for assimilation and economic advancement. He underscored this view at the Reagan library Presidential debate in a back and forth with Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio. But Trump has yet to make a categorical statement that English should be the official language of the federal government.
Donald Trump receives a grade of N/A on the issue of Bilingual Ballots.
Donald Trump has not issued a policy statement on the issue of bilingual ballots. US law regarding naturalization of new citizens mandates that they pass an English comprehension test and, therefore, any immigrant with legal citizenship status can read a ballot. The only candidate in 2016 who has a record of explicitly calling for ballots to be exclusively English is Rick Santorum, and that was in the last Presidential cycle.
Donald Trump receives a grade of on the issue of Amnesty.
Donald Trump made headlines on the campaign trail in 2015 by rejecting amnesty and any kind of pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants residing in America, even going so far as to suggest that they be compelled to briefly return to their home countries before undergoing criminal background screening as a condition of re-admission to America. Trump doubled down by calling for building a border wall with a wide gate for legal entrants, ending birthright citizenship, mandating e-verify, tripling the number of ICE officers, defunding sanctuary cities, increasing penalties for over-staying visas, curtailing legal immigration, and replacing catch-and-release at the border with detention of those caught illegally entering America. Trump did not, however, call for making English the official language of the federal government.
Donald Trump receives a grade of N/A on the issue of Puerto Rican Statehood.
Donald Trump has remained conspicuously silent on the issue of Puerto Rican statehood. His campaign has not issued a statement regarding a referendum on the options of commonwealth status, outright independence, or statehood, and Trump has not weighed in on the issues of offering Puerto Rico Chapter 9 bankruptcy protections for its ailing government divisions, municipal governments, and public corporations. Trump has made no mention of making Official English a pre-condition of any potential application for a vote from Congress on Puerto Rican statehood.
Donald Trump receives a grade of N/A on the issue of English-in-the-workplace.
Donald Trump routinely insists on the use of English in American society in order to foster legal immigration and economic advancement. Nevertheless, the Trump campaign website does not have a statement regarding whether or not he supports the right of employers to require that only English be used for all work-related interactions in the workplace.
Donald Trump receives a grade of 
on the issue of Multiculturalism & Assimilation.
Donald Trump has explicitly advocated that learning English is necessary for assimilation and to fully utilize economic opportunity. Trump’s view on multiculturalism can be gleaned from his views of political correctness. Trump has steadfastly denounced the anti-free speech strictures of political correctness. Trump has specifically criticized political correctness when opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants and in arguing for a pause in granting refugee status to countries linked to ISIS or other terrorist groups until proper security measures can be ensured. Trump’s campaign narrative of American greatness focuses on the rule of law, legal immigration, border security, and homeland security, while promoting assimilation of legal immigrants and economic opportunity for all who play by the rules. On balance, Trump’s policies treat all law-abiding Americans equally and oppose special treatment based on identity politics and multiculturalism.
