We have an official language.

You were wrong.

I've been in areas of TX though where there are entire communities that don't speak English

A person in Costa Rica told me everyone learns to speak English if they want to make money. She should have picked up on that philosophy

That’s a lot of hotel rooms to clean.

Since 2005 and can't speak English. As long as our govt gives them a free pass why bother assimilating.

BS. They may predominantly speak Spanish/ Spanglish in those communities but they all can understand and speak English. You know why? The people you are talking about are Americans and as I said (that you ignored) English is still our common language that ties us together.

You probably lack exposure to these areas

There are places in the U.S. where people who have been here for generations only speak Spanish

So those people aren’t attending public schools were English is taught?

Interesting theory.

I almost missed it in the audio, but from the web:

The fine was issued under the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows for civil penalties against individuals who fail to depart the U.S. after receiving a removal order. While the law permits fines of up to $500 per day, such penalties have historically been rare.

And it said she entered 2005? 20 years? She's been cut a deal then:

20 years × 365 days/yr × $500 = $3,650,000

Why only $1.82M? That's about half what it could be. Should add interest.
