No. There are other nations that are polylingual. India, for instance has several languages. English IS by the way, the official language of the United States. It is the language used on all official documents and in all official government situations. There is no need to legislate the fact. That would be a waste of legislative time.

Questioner: read the following:
Are we "SLOW LEARNERS" or what?
Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

No. The UK doesn't have one but like the US, English is the de facto official language. Likewise Mexico doesn't have an official language however in their case the de facto language is Spanish. There are many others.

Yes. Didn't you hear the memo?
If we pick English as our official language then we are discriminating towards all the immigrants.
