Yes, thousands did lose their lives. And it matters not about infrastructure. The point is Trump wasn't there and didn't give a rat's azz about them.
What are you talking about? Trump did go to PR after the hurricane. Again, what did you expect? Did you expect him to wave a magic wand and make it all better?
wiki? nice! ........what is the language of the federal government uses to do their business everyday?
do we really need a constitutional amendment for the obvious?
Wiki is fine for a basic fact like that we have no official language. But here's the Info from the government itself
"Official Language of the United States
There is no "official" language at the federal level for the United States. Although the most commonly used language is English (PDF, Download Adobe Reader), more than 300 languages are spoken or signed by the population. Some individual states list English as their official language. If you would like the United States or your state to adopt an official language, you should contact your elected officials.
The federal government is required to provide access to federal programs and federally assisted programs for people with limited English proficiency."
That is not "American" regardless of what some document somewhere says.
It doesn't change the fact that Puerto Ricans are American citizens---American citizens who have fought in every war from WWI going forward. Maybe you should google the Borinqueneers---that's what the 65th Infantry called themselves.
No, the unofficial and default language of America is English . English has never been officially proclaimed the language of the US. That's what official means, that it has been declared as such by a bill or law . That has not happened and probably never will .
what was the language of the 13 colonies? what was the language when this country was founded? what language of the Declaration of Independence written? what language was the U.S. Constitution written?
I didn't know it was written in multiple languages...lol
define "official"....because this is pretty obvious!
mija quit! what is a "legal" official language? all languages are legal in the U.S. under the first amendment.
the official language in the U.S. is ENGLISH. You need to speak English to graduate HIGH SCHOOL and College. English is the official language of our government and laws.....if that's not the "legal" language of this country then I don't know what is.
Just to be technical... STILL WRONG!
The US has never declared an official language nor officially pushed any specific languages. Others have, but not us. It's only coincidence English has defacto become the language.

So you comparing apples and oranges is laughable.
We've isolated and boxed them in typically.
We didn't legitimize them with attention on the world stage.

It's actually kinda disgusting that you think less of people who are born US citizens just like you because they aren't just like you.
Having 30,000,000 illegal aliens in your country may have contributed
Hey why not say it's 300 million?
Just as bogus as the rest of this post.
