The Americas should unite was a global economic/military powerhouse instead of the Current United States bully hegemony approach. Imagine all the domestic activity that could occur with some changes to borders and drug policies. Instead of spending billions a year to hold Afghanistan together you create law and order in the greatest modern civilization in world history. Let Russia and China and everyone else work out their own problems.

At the risk of being glib:

"And Spanish shall be the governing language of this federation."

"Wait a loving second, whose Spanish?"

Sectarian/Xenophobic culture issues are a barrier.

But smartphones are getting better at translation, so actual language might be a non issue in another 10 years for someone who is digitally literate.

There's also concerns of economic dominance like Germany in the EU - the US/Canada would be similar heavyweights, and part of the first acts of this union would be acts of mercy and debt jubilee.

It is appalling to see US courts are ruling that Argentina has to pay 100% of its debts because of a few holdouts when Buenos Aires had a deal with most of its debtors.
