This has got to be a scam-the last time I looked, English was not the predominant language in Puerto Rico-I believe that is Spanish...

On the other hand, my dad was stationed in Puerto Rico when I was a kid-being Latino and knowing Spanish, we were well able to communicate with locals, but were pleasantly surprised to find that just about everyone we met on that island spoke adequate English-especially in tourist areas.

I speak Spanish as a second language-so do a lot of people of all ethnicities from rural SW Texas-can we all now get 1/2 an SSDI check for that-or are most of us ineligible because we are fluent in both languages?

And how is it that myself and the other kids where I grew up were able to learn two languages as little kids, but these adults in Puerto Rico can’t learn English as a second language if they choose to-they never heard of Rosetta Stone, or some other program?

Another flagrant waste of your money and mine by idiot government workers...
