should english be the official language in the USA?

i agree, thanks for responding

well, its not stated in a law somewhere, but i think it needs to be in light of all the recent events here.

well, apparently, since that was never placed into law, many immigrants question that, and believe that both english and spanish should be spoken everywhere. recently, some even pushed to have a spanish version of our national anthem, which was quickly struck down by our lawmakers.

thanks for your comment

actually, a lot of immigrants feel that spanish should be the dual language in the states

well said, thanks for your comments

I agree, If we went to another country we would be expected to learn the language, period. I think there already is alot of help offered in spanish.

i agree, thanks for your comment

exactly. thanks

i think you might be surprised with how many people do agree with you. i certainly do. thanks for your response

most Americans did too, but recently, immigrants, mostly of hispanic descent have "demanded" that businesses offer their services or products in spanish. now a lot of american cities are passing laws saying that english is the official language, therefore preventing these situations. there are even employers here now who state that speaking spanish is a requirement of their job. these laws will prevent things like that, as well as punish those who employ, house or protect people who are in this country illegally.

i think everyone should make it a priority. your parents are the epitomy of what the US is all about. this country was built on immigrants, who all worked very hard to make this country what it is today, and for people to come here now and think that they are entitled to citizenship or certain rights and benefits simply because they are here is ridiculous.

I agree. America has many problems, and yet our freedom, our love of life brings many more to our shores, looking and searching for a better life.

i dont believe that anyone should be required to speak another language here though. if i went to a different country to live, i certainly wouldn't expect them to speak english, simply because i do. thanks for your comment

actually, thats not entirely true. you can now take the US citizenship test in other languages, which i dont believe should be allowed. so many products are labeled with both english and spanish now in stores, and so much more i could go into. this nation was founded on the english language and should remain that way. thanks for your response

i agree, if you want to become an American citizen, you should first be able to speak our language fluently. but that is why we are seeing so much opposition to making english the official language here. people dont want to have to learn it, they feel we should cater to them.
