I'm pretty sure when our forefather immigrated to the US they didn't bother adopting the current languages and culture.
Hell there is no single US language or culture. I grew up next to colonies that primarily speak German (and have been there for generations). But I don't here anyone complaining about that. To act like there is a single "American" culture really just shows ignorance.

This is the biggest joke and fallacy of American culture as it concerns this argument.
No there is not an official language.
The reality is, any immigrant, their legal status not withstanding, needs to learn English. Sorry, it's a fact that they will be better for it.
Your forefathers not withstanding the predominate majority of this country speaks english, and the fact that the constitution didn't codify english as the sovereign tounge holds no bearing. Assimilating means learning english. If you come here and don't speak it, learn it, I guarantee you'll be better off for it.
Keep your culture, keep your heritage. At the same time have some fucking common sense about the USA. Yes most wasps, most caucasoids are removed from their "heritage", but honestly?
So absurd.
