Unified North American Jargon Language

What do you think it would take to establish a cross nation sort of jargon language in North America? I've had this idea cross my mind quite frequently where if you made a very simple grammar system and then used loanwords from French, Spanish, and English possibly even Indigenous languages. I know English probably isn't going to cease being the Lingua France for a while now but I think this would still be a cool idea. Again sort of like a Pidgin, Creole, and just a Jargon language like Chinook Wawa. I think my own problem right now is that I love how intelligible Spanish and French are but English seems to dull it. Maybe it's because I am a Native English speaker and the language just seems ok to me. I am interested in this idea I just don't know where I'd go with it in the future..

How do you generate roots and words?

I'm very new to this. I have some phonotactics and some other rules along with illegal clusters. How do you all generate lists of roots? And words?

I'm working on a script to dynamically generate them based on either phoneme or the phonestheme I want to appear in a root/word.

At first I took the easy approach and just computationally produced a set of all valid combination between 2-6 phonemes long. This gave me a list of 41.5+ million. Then I just filter and sort based on phonemes I want and in which position.
