What assertion did I make that was incorrect?
Did I say anything concerning the percentage of Spanish speakers in PR. You seem to assume that someone who speaks english cannot speak Spanish. All I am saying is that a vast majority of Puerto Ricans have the ability to understand and communicate to some degree of fluency in English as well as Spanish.
You've jumped all over me here with your assumptions without taking the time to realize that I am in fact correct here.
Now, if you want to continue this discussion, I'm happy to, but you've not correctly understood my assertion.
Actually, your 'survey' never employs the use of the word poor. I'm not sure how you conclude from your survey that their use of English is poor.
I'm not sure what his opinion is, this is the first I've heard Santorum's argument.
As I said earlier, I disagree with making English de jure the language of the United States.
By your definition, the United States is overwhelmingly Spanish speaking, since at least 20% (including Puerto Rico) are native Spanish speakers and a good proportion of the rest took some Spanish in High School. Not to mention that, in many parts of the country, the proclivity of Hispanics means that many, if not most residents, can speak passable Spanish for everyday activity. I mean I took 4 years in HS and know how to say "Hola, me llamo Wiz in Wis, mi esposa y yo estamos en el estado de Massachusetts hoy"
Clearly, I'm a Spanish speaker in a Spanish speaking country.
