As for aliens, both legal and illegal, they are hard to count, but most
reliable counts indicate about 11 million who speak only Spanish. That would
be a total of 40 million Spanish speakers in the US.


Kick the illegal aliens out, and you can reduce that figure by several
million. Although 40 million is quite an exaggeration.

I am disturbed by the apparent assumption that any Spanish speaker must be an
illegal alien.


Who has made that assumption?

The vast majority of Spanish speakers in the US are citizens.
A lot of them are descended from people who were living in what is now the
USA long before the Mayflower ever got here. It really is ignorant not to
know that.


They are pretty ignorant not to speak English. I guess they want to clean
toilets all their lives.
