    Puerto Rico? Miami? Texas? All hurricane prone areas with huge Spanish speaking populations. Parts of Miami like Hialeah have over 90% of households speaking Spanish.

    This is a bilingual country. We have the second most Spanish speakers in the world only behind Mexico. Learn some Spanish it really won’t fucking kill you.
