Yeah, every country needs one basic language so we can all communicate with each other and understand laws and what not. In Miami however, Cubans are taking over the population, making spanish Miami's main language, which causes major controversy. Some say that maybe one day english won't be our official language, but as of now it is.

yes - English should be the official language. All cultures and languages should be embraced. The key here is what language is taught in school. By not teaching English as our nations primary language we deprive people of achieving their best.
