The U.S does not have an offical language
Though the US doesn't have an official language, I think it's more a policy that makes us look good.
English is definitely required to be successful in the US, but it sounds better if we don't say that.
However, Spanish is certainly a secondary language, and Wikipedia also lists French (the current lingua franca, I believe) and Hawaiian.
I would love the US to develop into a more bilingual society, much like that of continental Europe. But nationalism runs high here, so any deviation from the norm may take a while to be widely accepted.
