Isn't English Our Native Tongue

I have a question...why is it that whenever I call a company I have to press 1 for English? I was always told that English was our official language. So why is it that most of our citizens speak Spanish. When someone wants to become a citizen of our great country should they not have to learn the official language. If we want to become a citizen of another country (which is extremely harder than to become a US citizen) we have to learn the language of that country.

This is just one of the many problems and questions I have about this country that has so many freedoms that make it impossible to live free. (Just my opinion)
