This I'll say: Spanish, like French ain't important in 2015 except in LatAm and former French colonies like in Africa. OTOH: especially looking at the Arab and Somali illegal aliens trying to get into Europe; the "go to" language is English, NOT Hungarian, NOT German, NOT even Arabic and def NOT French or Spanish.
So if they wanted it, why was it not on the ballot?
Statehood was on the ballot and won, this was certified by the Puerto Rico State Elections Commission, the White House, and the US Senate's Committee on Insular Affairs.

That's not what wiki says:
Quote:
She conducted a poll and found that 53.64% of the electorate do not support statehood.
If it won on the ballot they would be a state. They don't want it.

If you and I are running for Congress and you get 100 votes and I get 70 votes, but 50 people submit a blank ballot who wins? You do. Even though more people voted against you than for you you still win because you got the most valid votes.

Outside of who won it doesn't tell you much of anything else.
100 want something. 70 don't and 50 don't care either way.
As long as all Puerto Ricans are US Citizens, English-Only laws should not exist.
Who's promoting English-only laws? It's about making English the official language of what states want to do so and making if our official language on the federal level. An official language does not mean one can't speak another language.
It amazes me that anyone would want to come to America and yet prefer to continue to speak whatever language their native tongue. If a person really wants to become an American the very least they can do is learn to speak the english. Speaking english should be a basic requirement before anything else. English is accepted in almost any country. I firmly believe that if a person has been in the US for six months or so and has not learned the very basic use of english they should be deported.
I remember when I was in grade school we had a German boy come into our classroom. He didn't speak a word of english. In order to learn he first had to learn to speak english and he did and he did it quickly. It makes me wonder if these people who refuse to learn or speak english are simply stupid or lazy. Perhaps both.
Kalifornia's offical State language is English as passed by proposition by the people back in the 1980's.
You mean there are people in Mexifornia who still speak English??? Glad to hear it
