English only?

As I have looked into both sides of the official English debate over the years I often look at the argument in business terms. To begin with is the money and effort being put in to this worth the effort? It would seem to me that no matter what ends up happening it seems that the end result will likely never pay off for the people trying to make English the official language. After all will people just suddenly stop speaking other languages the day the law passes? Will we have to hire language police to patrol the streets making sure people are no longer making bilingual signs to say there business is open closed? I think we can all agree that most likely all that would happen is that government agencies would not be required to print papers in languages other then English, but after a short period as non-English speakers sue because something happened due to their inability to understand something the entire law would have to be reexamined. It seems to me that in spite of the best efforts of people trying to make English the official language people all over the world are attempting to learn it. I think that rather then making English the official language we should continue to make it a language that people would want to learn by being a successful globally minded country .
