Two reasons:

1. I really don't think it's worth creating a new law for. Most of us speak English and the people who don't speak English know they should learn in order to make life easier. If they don't want to, that's fine with me too. It's their decision, not mine.

2. One of the reasons I adore this country is our ability to change and adapt when we need to in order to be a competitive player on the global stage. English is obviously the language of choice now, but what if it isn't 200 years from now? Why make a long term commitment when it might not be in the best interest of our great great great grandchildren?
