That in a 310 million people nation is a significant number so Spanish should be fully recognize as a second language. To give you an example there are 7 million french speakers in Canada a nation of 35 million people and they get second language status.
I know is hard for a lot of immigrants to understand my point of view, but I feel that west of the Mississippi all that was pioneered, settle or facilitated the settlement of land by the Spanish speaking populations. My ancestors who created the routes and towns that the English speaking people use to build their nation. |
