why would there ever be a vote as to whether English would be a primary language on American soil?

Answer 1

To keep from being submerged in our own country by the hispanics who can't/won't learn English.

Answer 2

250 years ago there was just a vote like that
the choices were english and german.
german barely lost.
today spanish would loose but as a businessman i am learning it because i want to increase my customer base.
to me speaking spanish is good business.
if the hispanic population continues to rise in proportion to the rest of us, that q may become important.
i find to speak spanish i need to use more words than english, thus think it to be a lwss precise language, but learning spanish has helped me learn better english

Answer 3

Since it's spoken all over the world, you'd think that this one's a no-brainer. What other language? And don't say, "For Spanish, press 2."

Answer 4

Amazing isn't it? Who would have thought that our politicians would sell us out so completely that even our language is threatened.
