What's the fastest growing language spoken in the United States? Arabic.
The number of people ages 5 and older who speak Arabic at home has grown
by 29% between 2010 and 2014 to 1.1 million, making it the seventh most
commonly spoken non-English language in the U.S. Meanwhile, the number
who speak Spanish at home has grown only 6% over the same time period. But we hear immigrants speaking all of the time in other languages other than English even in shops where some workers are clueless regarding English. You ask a question and they just stare at you. In Lake Worth, the Spanish language is predominate as is the population.
Read about what the 2020 Census is planning.
This is America, folks! People need to learn English and be able to read and write it but this liberal government in Washington has changed all of that. Progressives love all this diversity. Some people are exempt from the English language requirement when becoming naturalized citizens, but are still required to take the Civics Test and they can take that in their native language. We bend over backwards.
Florida had a Constitutional Amendment in 1988 that made English our official language and Amendment 11 established English as the official state language. It was overwhelmingly approved.
Amendment 11's ballot summary was:
Establishes English as the official language of the State of Florida. Enables the legislature to implement this article by appropriate legislation.
The measure's full text was:
Section 9. English is the Official Language of Florida.
(a) English is the official language of the state of Florida.
(b) The Legislature shall have the power to enforce this section by appropriate legislation.
Wikipedia says, Worldwide 178 countries have at least one official language but the United States no longer has one. 27 U.S. states and all inhabited U.S. territories, excluding Puerto Rico have designated English the official language and courts have found
that residents do not have a right to government services in their
preferred language. No one enforces it in Florida and certainly not in Lake Worth. No one cares. In the meantime, Lake Worth is a Sanctuary City as is the entire County of Palm Beach. And we wonder why we have so many problems.
It is time to look and fix our immigration policy and requirements for citizenship.

Of course Arabic is the fastest growing language-we have a Muslim President.
Arabic is not the fastest growing language, if you look at the actual numbers, Spanish is #1. If your talking percentage of growth year over year, Arabic is #2 over Chinese.
