"What I said is if there will ever be an official language it should be both Spanish and English and I expressed reasoning; both English and Spanish are widely used throughout the USA."

Your first post said this:

"I can't see how (or why) English should be the only language; the official language, in a country which is part of the Americas where Spanish is the number one language spoken."

Nice try but that's not what you said. Maybe your definition of "Americas" is different than mine. I interpreted your original comments as pertaining to North, Central and South America combined...

You also said this:

"It's fact that by the mid-2030s, Hispanics and other minorities will be far larger than half of the total. So why not cast something in stone now to help preserve the American language?"

What part of trying to keep the country unified with a common language do you not understand? 2030's is plenty of time for those illegal aliens to learn English.

You said this:

"Again, if other countries around the world can do it, so can we. "

Yea, that English/French thing is working great for Canada... NOT!
