48% Of US Residents In Top 5 Cities Don't Speak English At Home; 67 Million Overall

Almost half of all US residents in the top five largest cities, or 48%, do not speak English at home according to the latest Census Bureau data.

The Washington Examiner reports that the new report, conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), also reveals that "As a share of the population, 21.8 percent of U.S. residents speak a foreign language at home — roughly double the 11 percent in 1980." Overall, roughly 67 million residents don't speak English at home.

In New York City and Houston it is 49 percent; in Los Angeles it is 59 percent; in Chicago it is 36 percent; and in Phoenix it is 38 percent. -CIS

In terms of population, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language at home at 41 million residents in 2017, up from 37 million in 2010. Chinese is the next most common language at 3.4 million using it primarily at home.

In terms of the fastest growing non-English languages spoken at home, Telugu experienced the most rapid growth, followed by Bengali, Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.

Way late this outrage should have happened at least 20 yrs ago. Now they have the power to vote, it only gets worst from here my friends. They have no need to speak English, and the taxpayer is required to provide services and do it in Spanish. This ship has already sailed

Think of all the money we could save if we made English the only language we used. The ONLY forms printed in other languages would be the citizenship forms. Once they become a citizen it is mandatory they speak the same language. Think of all the money the schools would save if they only had to teach in English and only buy books in English. Think of the money all the Federal, State, and local governments would save too.
