A law that requires materials and services funded using taxpayer dollars to be provided in English. Laws such as these have only been passed in areas where the vast majority of people speak English, and have for centuries.
Liberals view this as radical and racist because it supports the needs of one group over another. Liberals, as always, are free to fund it by themselves if they feel so strongly about it. But then that goes against the central tenet of these left-leaners: "We just come up with the moral compass, we shouldn't have to pay for it."

Juanita has been living illegally in Texas for 10 years and wants to send her kids to public schools. Unfortunately, they're English only and she doesn't want to learn English or teach them English at home, so she and her friends demand the schools hire translators to teach their kids in Spanish. This, of course, neglects the Chinese, etc. Soon, our country will be a place where everyone can learn but noone can understand each other.

Get the English mug.The result of trying to fit English words into Japanese phonetics (what sounds are used, and how those sounds are stressed when speaking in a given language).
Engrish happens, because its hard for someone used to speaking Japanese to speak proper English so they use speaking patterns the are used to. Its like an American trying to speak sexy fluid French without years of practice.
Engrish also occurs if someone wants to speak English without knowing the language. So they take the English syllables of what they want to say, and put them in Japanese characters that represent a single syllable, and read it like that.
The most well known form of Engrish involves swapping "R" sounds for "L" sounds or vice versa, (hence the Term "engRish") as the Japanese sound for both of these letters is a single rolled "R" (like Spanish).
Also many times syllables are cut short or added onto because Japanese syllables must end in vowels (it seems to be most common to stick on either "o" or "u").
So "Roll" would be lo-lu
And Beer would be "Be-a" or "Be-a-ru"
Engrish is very common in Anime and Japanese pop culture since English was, and still is to some extent, very popular and stylish in Japan.
The other definitions are not Engrish at all, they are babelphishing. Even though the two go hand in hand, they're still, but still very different.
