the United States was founded in English.....why should we include Mexico's language or Comanche.....?Many countries have more than one official language. So probably it would make sense to include English, Spanish, sign language, and the Native American languages (at the very least) if the government is going to establish official languages.Why should it be the "official" language when 1/4 of our country was founded in Spanish and then taken over by us?
English is the defacto language like it or not. If you want to succeed in this country you need to speak good English. You don't need a law for that, it's natural selection. The law is just another way of tellling those who's first or best language isn't English that "you aren't American, we don't like you".
