How, exactly, is English as the national language going to be enforced?

Is the FBI going to raid smokey rooms in boarded up houses full of people speaking Greek? (Actually, strike that, I know of one such establishment that probably should be raided. But not because of the speaking Greek part.)

Mind you, I'm relieved that I don't have to learn Swahili or Arabic or Navajo or whatever other langauges were on the slate for "national language." But I didn't realize that English was in such danger that it needed to be propped up by the US Senate.

(ETA: If there is an enforcement arm that goes with this new law, clearly someone needs to nominate dtb to head the new cabinet.)
