No, because the US has no official language and is a nation of many cultures. However, newly naturalized citizens should be given the choice to attend free, easily accessible English classes so they have the opportunity to learn it if they want to, as having a working knowledge of English will allow them to function more easily in the current US climate and therefore to be more effective citizens.
