Huh?
No I wouldn't.
Mainly because I can't understand what it is you are asking.
We need less protections in this country now more
g-day!

English as a language does not need to be protected by laws. A language that doesn't change, by adding new terminology and getting rid of obsolete terminology, will die.
Trying to legislate for, or legally approve of, protection of English is counterproductive and simply shows prejudice against immigrants. Unless you're a Native American, you're the descendant of immigrants.

Enforce english like its taught in school?
That gets funny if you picture that statement being spoken in californian, or ebonics, or texan, or iowan, or new yorkian (hmm hold the new yorkian since I dont think it would pass the clean language checks)
At the moment only half of the states have english as the "official language". Some have constitutions printed in 2 languages.

It would seem necessary that we would absolutely need English first and required.
I'm not opposed to use becoming multi lingual. I have studied Spanish and French. I was working on Italian. I love languages. I think it would make us all more valuable and more understanding of the difficulties. It's hard to learn English. It's hard to learn any language but English is one of the more difficult.

I'd like to see English made the official language of the country, at a federal level. I don't want to see Spanish or Korean gain status here jest as I'm sure the Mexicans, Koreans etc wouldn't like to see English gain status in their countries.

Americans do not speak English, although, I must admit it is a form of corrupted English. The American language would be easier to understand if they could spell correctly !

George Bernard Shaw claimed that "England and America are two countries divided by a common language."
As he was Irish, I'm not sure what he knew about it.

I am a legal and I do not intend to have to learn spanish for the US.
In school, we learn English for the US, Spanish for latin America.
