The use of Spanish in Texas should have decreased when she became a US state. If anyone there wanted to be an American. Instead with all the illegals flowing in in the late 1900’s, it has increased after that time.
In the 50’s, English was predominantly spoken in Los Angeles and the demographics were majority white. Now, it’s like being in Mexico.
Making excuses for allowing the invasion is just liberalism.

Texas was Spanish territory from the 16th century until 1821-the people who settled here were from Mexico and originally from Spain-they were my ancestors-they spoke Spanish. When Spain lost Mexico and all that area of New Spain in the 1821 Mexican revolution, the dominant language was Spanish, even with some Anglo settlers coming in.
Many people from old families speak Spanish as a second language here-we always have-all ethnicities-especially in rural/tourist areas-it is good for business.
MrT5’s family was Canadian French-his grandparents came to Washington from Quebec-MrT5 spoke Quebecois as a 2nd language, same as his family still living in Canada did.
My ancestors have been in Texas since the late 1700’s-I’m an American and a Texan of Hispanic ancestry. I have spoken Spanish as my second language since early childhood-so have my family members and most of the neighbors. I’m not offended in any way with someone speaking a second language-any language-that is not English. It is still a mark of being well educated around here to be multilingual...
