The English language as the official language of the United States

Does the English language deserve to be or need to be officially and legally declared the language of the United States of America?

Should it be a requirement to know basic, rudimentary English?

Why or why not?

Yes, because you can't fully function in a society without knowing their official language.

No because America isn’t a country, borders are meaningless. People should be able to come here and do whatever they want. If they want to get a job and they don’t want to learn English they should just be allowed to sit in the back and get paid because they came here because they wanted to, therefore they have the right to because they wanted to no one should tell them any different.

However if we go to their country we should learn all their rules, language and laws, before coming, we should have to wait in line like everyone does. We should have to pass tests and be required to sustain ourselves before we go.

Who wants to guess who will vote no?

Of course English should be your language. Sadly though it isn't, adding "ize" to words does not make them real words. Neither does removing letters like "u" from correctly spelt in English words like colour. English should be your language, sadly though it isn't.

Who voted no?

Yes, it should be the formally recognized language of our great country.

What else is it gonna be Spanish? Arabic? Japanese? Come on.

I think english is one of the most versatile languages and it probably lends itself to american success.
I dont really care if it's classified as the official language of america, that seems like patriotic pageantry and not something that would be a more socially cohesive move- in reality it would only appeal to the anti globalist types.

The good thing about English is it borrows words from French, Chinese and many other languages.

I voted yes.
