Not always. Situations are always different. The point here is that no matter who, Huntington, so-called 'pinko liberals' nor anyone has power over language. Linguistical changes are uncontrollable, arbitrary and unstopable.
English until now has been the dominant language within the US, strong enough to kill many native languages (a culturally regretable but linguistically inevitable process) and prevent others from gaining power. But it doesn't have why to remain that way. No one can decide whether English will remain invincible.
