Approximately when will Spanish become the national language?

Never.  People who come into the United States ought to learn American English.

Until the last few years it wasn't necessary to have an official National Language. But now that we have illegal aliens coming here in droves it is suddenly important.

Buena idea. Yo estoy estudiando, y espero que algun dia puedo hablar mejor que ahora.\n\nEspanol es una lengua muy bonita y casi toda la gente en el mundo pueden hablar mas que una lengua y por eso estoy tratando apprender mas que una por mi parte.

well English could be the official language there are a lot of hispanic people in the country to and they would want to keep their religion going

There would probably be three official languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese.  I believe they are the most-spoken languages on the planet.  I could be wrong, though.

Yes.\n\nGo to Google.com and select language tools and pick Spanish to English.

It really depends on the language.

Never, I think so. In Spain, Latinamericans are who most inmigrate and live there. Mostly Africans who try to inmigrate are catched by police in the Gibraltar Strait. Also, Africans that inmigrate are from Sub-Saharian Africa, who is mostly Catholic and not from North Africa. I think with Latins, Spain would become "Al-Colombia" or "Al-Ecuador","Al-Argentina",Al-Venezuela",etc.

Who's refusing?  I love studying languages!  However, should we alow a secondary language to be official?  I don't think that's necessary.  We're creating a new language with the Spanglish and all the other wonderful linguistic creativity that is alive & well in the US

Don't care.  Their changing the language not the meaning.  What is great about this country is the principles upon which it was built not the common language (notice I did'nt write national language).

Well, it depends on where you live. Because where I live, we HAVE to take spanish starting in elementary school (i started in 2nd grade, but now they're teaching it to kindergardeners). It also depends on the school you go to, I went to public school, I guess that if you went to a privite school, you might not have to take it. Then again, my friends (in NY) they only started taking a second language in school when they started middle school (junior high) and they have the option of spanish or french. However, in my school, we only get spanish, the only time we get to choose is when we apply for high school. Before that, we HAVE to take Spanish. So, it just depends on what school you go to, where you live and stuff like that. Hope this helped!

Well it sounds great with 1907 standards, one nation one language this all good; as long as it does not keep going into one religion, one leader, one race, just like it did in Germany under Hitler just a few decades after Teddy said these things. I have no doubt, if he was alive today he would tweak his idea and rhetoric according to what happened in the last 100 years. I am not Hispanic but I know that Spanish was spoken in parts of US way before English was adopted as an official language (just a few votes ahead of German and Dutch by the way), are you going to kick them out because they have been speaking Spanish since before the US was founded?

BECAUSE ENGLISH IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE U.S.!!!THAT'S WHY!!! C'mon, get real. Next my kid is gonna have to bilingually recite the pledge of allegiance. Except for the line about under God, because the left wing politically correct weenies won't allow that. A spanish version of the national anthem...Nope. Just doesn't work for me.
