Very good points LA_renter. And sure, the REIC will use this latest population report to advance its agenda.

gold_dredger, there’s no guilt and no hate at all here. If I’m around a bunch of Spanish speakers and I want to understand then I go to school rather than bitch about it.
The hate is coming from those who are ignorant and lazy, and who won’t make the effort to learn.
The constitution equally protects old-timers and new-comers. And English is not constitutionally guaranteed. If a large portion of the population chooses to speak Spanish, then so be it.
It’s better to learn and adapt, or move. You only hurt yourself when you resent others.
My friend in a Naval Officer coordinating military exercises in South Korea. They complained that the Korean military should provide more translators. The response was “you’re welcomed to bring your own.” My friend thought about it and agreed. Either bring our own translators or learn Korean because the Koreans they work with don’t seem to have a problem speaking English.
