Will the Spanish language to be the most important language in the United States in some years?

[Lorene]

Is there any possibility that Spanish will become the official U.S. language alongside English as in Canada with the French?

Do you think the number of spanish-speakers will grow up?

I doubt it. I always got the impression that the children of Spanish-speaking immigrants were bilingual and that English was often even the home language of such people.

Not that I'd mind if it did. If it becomes the first language of most of the American population and therefore stops white Americans calling themselves 'Anglos' and/or 'Anglo-Saxons' then I'm all for it.

I think that some southern states like New Mexico, Arizona, California and part of Texas are destinded to become totally hispanized.

But not the entire Union.

How many of the so-called Hispanics do actually speak real Spanish? Because Spanglish is just deficient English with a Spanish word here and there.

Spanish already is a co-dominant state language in terms of signs or getting a Spanish-speaking bureaucrat, at least in California, but this is provided for the continual waves of fresh arrivals; the US is not exactly being linguistically Hispanicised. For example, Chicanos from San Diego, which is closer to the Mexican border than Los Angeles, do not speak Spanish, often not a word. These aren't people assimilated to suburbia, but they don't know anything about Mexico either.

So this is neither multiculturalism nor the older type of assimilation, the new and or illegal are the ones who don't speak English, and their children immediately pick up an ebonics, not to mention appreciation for the Raiders and allegiance to Oakland.

Immigrants are also shuffled around so that California, Arizona, and New Mexico are no longer the hot-spots for illegal immigration, but the states you have to get through to get to the other areas Mexicans are to replace native workers, such as the American South, Colorado, small amounts of them are everywhere, those are just examples.

...but there is some states without mexs? Or they're everywhere?

Every time I look up some unimportant state or really northern state, there are some Mexicans there, as well as Asians, which while are more 'professional' are still a pointless replacement.

I looked up two random ones: North Dakota ("2% Hispanic") and Illinois ("14.9 Latino-American" and 12.8% speaking Spanish).

Holy Pope

If i think that my great-grandfather was born in Illinois...very sad situation

Well, we never declared English as the official language of the US on paper, so it having a sort of co-official status wouldn't surprise me. As for actually overtaking English? I don't think so. Not yet anyhow.

I started to notice about 5 years ago that many products, especially those found in Walmart and Home Depot, are labeled in English and Spanish. This is similar to what is found on products in non French speaking parts of Canada.
