Soon, and it seems like it may be soon as well. The majority of states (31 out of 50) have English as an official language! There are many new candidates as well, including Texas, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Once the number reaches around 40, congress has to seriously think of the influence of the states and decide wether they want to go through the process of voting English as official or not. If it is made official, it may be forced to learn English, or it may not. It depends on the terms they decide. Also, Puerto Rico is a candidate for statehood, but they already have English as an official language (alongside Spanish), so if there are 51 states next year (as I have heard of Puerto Rico proposing candidacy in 2012), then 32 (possibly 35) states will have English as an official language. That's a little less or more than 2/3 of states, which is around 65% of states.
