The United States is now the worlds second largest Spanish-speaking country after Mexico, according to a new study published by the prestigious Instituto Cervantes.
The report says there are 41 million native Spanish speakers in the US plus a further 11.6 million who are bilingual, mainly the children of Spanish-speaking immigrants. This puts the US ahead of Colombia (48 million) and Spain (46 million) and second only to Mexico (121 million).
Among the sources cited in the report is the US Census Office which estimates that the US will have 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050, making it the biggest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth, with Spanish the mother tongue of almost a third of its citizens.

Profoundly changing this nation ... thanks to libtard Democrats ... and their Royal Idiot!
Spanish-speaking does not mean Spanish. I even disagree with “Hispanic”. I argue they’re Native Americans.

Look Zakeet, we have to be honest about this one.
Democrats and Republicans have caused this.
They are continuing to support it come hell or high water.
Screw them all!
Yet somehow you learned English.
No problem at all...
Now, 50 million and counting, let’s see how quickly we can convert the others.
You were probably born here Zuben, and no disrespect was meant.

Trump is right about us! We are the dumbest country on Earth! Had it been any other country they would have invaded Mexico already and made it a 51st State or something....what’s going to be difference in the near future anyway?
Lord, have mercy.
I speak Spanish fairly well and enjoy it as it’s one of the great Romance languages. However, English is much more descriptive and utilitarian.
Teaching or learning Spanish should be banned in high schools.
