That hurts my feelings..
I'm bad because I feel upset that over 8 out of ten of our citizens on that island cannot speak the language or Constitution is written in..
Becky are you even familiar at all with the whole history of them..
Until just recently the large majority of them have voted against statehood..
they do not want to accept the American culture...nor our doctrines and principles..

Then English were only some of the settlers in the Americas. French, Spanish, Portuguese, and others also settle at the same time. Why does English have to be the ONLY language?

Don't associate me with liberals thanks.
> A 2012 referendum showed a majority (54% of those who voted) disagreed with "the present form of territorial status". A second question asking about a new model, had full statehood the preferred option among those who voted for a change of status, although a significant number of people did not answer the second question of the referendum.[25] Another fifth referendum was held on June 11, 2017, with "Statehood" and "Independence/Free Association" initially as the only available choices. At the recommendation of the Department of Justice, an option for the "current territorial status" was added.[26] The referendum showed an overwhelming support for statehood, with 97.18% voting for it, although the voter turnout had a historically low figure of only 22.99% of the registered voters casting their ballots.
Sounds like you're wrong.

In language it's homogenous.
Look at demographics prior to mass minority immigration in the 60s. The U.S. is a homogenous country that recently absorbed a lot of burdens like you, but the cultural basis remains Anglophone. Thanks.

There weee obviously large numbers of immigrants from other parts of Europe, but only meager numbers of minorities were allowed in.
Of course ethnic communities spoke their own language. Then they assimilated and became part of anglophone culture.
What's your point?
You don't have a great grasp of history.

bert was educated in Tennessee. He was never taught about the 1st amendment.
The Constitution is on the side of anyone who speaks Spanish to speak that or Spanglish
bert and that bottle he drinks from, has turned him into an Anti-American.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Try hundreds of thousands of Asian immigrants on the West Coast of North America in the late 1800s and early 1900s, retard.

Yes, this perfectly explains why we still have ethnic neighborhoods and enclaves on the West Coast where native languages are still spoken, retard.
