America doesn't have any official languages, and it never should
Nolan Baker
The US doesn't even list English as an official language, so no.

Fuck off you disgusting Spanish Amerindian mutt. You will never get your stupid fucking old borders back
Daniel Young
There isn't a cultural pressure. Quebec is French because it was founded as French colonh and chooses to live that history. They and kids born there care that it's French. Mexican-Americans literally don't care and speak broken at best Spanish, if at all.
Jack Gonzalez
It is in New Mexico iirc
Ryder Martin
Because the sociolinguistic situation and history between those places and Quebec is very different. And Spanish is semi-official in New Mexico already (where it makes sense to make it fully official like English or like French in Quebec).

but the states do have an official languages isn't it
Adam Thomas
How about these borders?

It doesn't really matter if the country or the states have laws making a language official, English is still the de facto official language of the United States and all of the states of the union, the only exceptions are New Mexico where Spanish has a kind of special status and Hawaii where English and Hawaiian are both official.
Wyatt Flores
Yes, half the states OP circled have English as their language.
Nicholas Cook
I don't really think it would make (non-Hispanic) Americans bilingual, at best, it would just help preserve the language among Mexicans and other Hispanics.
In Quebec the vast majority speaks French (and a lot of them don't even speak English) cause they have very autistic language laws. I doubt writing down laws like making it obligatory for all businesses to offer services in Spanish would go down well with non-Hispanic people.

>it doesn't really matter
>but nm and hawaii have non-english languages as co-official
Ok

In Hawaii the de facto official languages are English and Hawaiian, in New Mexico the de facto official language is English but some New Mexico laws grant Spanish a semi-official language de facto, in the rest of the states of the United States the only de facto official language is English, they can make laws making English the de jure official language but that is not going to change the fact that English is and was already the de facto official language all along.

This, Utah and Colorado are the parts of Aztlam that are still white. Colorado is becoming more brown, but that's mostly because of Californian CHI's that can barely even speak Spanish anyway.

CHIs are barely fluent in either language so it's best not to complicate things.

Because we speak English and if you want to live here you better speak it. Spics have to go back that is white anglophone American clay

Louisiana has a special treatment for french and government agencies devoted to protecting cajun french.
Jordan Miller
Not good enough
Landon King
What??? In New Mexico you could make it an official language alongside English in a ceremonial sense but that's still questionable. Like many others have said the cultural presence isn't there.
