As more people around the world - and total - speak it than any other language, yes. It's already the international language of pilots. Most all nations teach it as a second language. India - with a billion people - conducts all their legal and political business in it.
It's past time that what is already de facto, be recognized de jure.
because is the united states
because its what most people know
Hebrew is the official language. But English/Arabic are also spoken
never means never . we should preserve our culture n non other than HINDI should be our official language.
Having one language as an official language might discourage immigrants from coming, and not everyone in the US speaks English, only about 80-90%, so it would be unfair to them. (unless you set up language classes but that's another story..)

Yes. I think it should. The majority of the people speak English. About 80-90% of the population. Plus the majority of the states have already declared English as an official language (along with some US territories). Sure not everyone speaks English in the US, but the government can set up language learning programs to teach English for free; this could be used by new immigrants as well.
The Founding Fathers of the United States of America never opposed making English an official language; they generally did not consider the question. Benjamin Franklin once jokingly suggested that German should be the national language.
English, most definitely. It is spoken by the vast majority of citizens (around 85%), and has always been historically and traditionally a part of this country. It has always been the most spoken language, and it needs to stay that way, and making it official will keep it that way. With an official language, you can teach your citizens the language, uniting the whole nation lingually.
The choice of an official language depends on the context and cultural diversity of the country. In Spanish-speaking countries or regions, it may make sense for Spanish to be the official language to reflect the predominant language spoken. However, it is important to also consider the rights and needs of linguistic minorities in order to promote inclusivity and diversity.
English is the official language language of a number of foreign countries. It is the official language of government in others. It is the de facto language of the European Common Market. It or a reasonable facsimile thereof has become the international language of business. As it has spread, it has picked up foreign idioms. This international usage should change it. British writers have noticed that in common usage many irregular forms of the past tense have begun ending with an e d. That should continue. As the irregular forms disappear, the use of English should continue to expand. English will become an easier language to learn.
There is ongoing debate on whether English should be the official language in the US. Proponents argue that it would promote unity and streamline communication, while opponents say it could marginalize non-English speakers and limit cultural diversity. Ultimately, it is a complex issue with valid arguments on both sides.
