At least Welsh is their native language. In the US, we have immigrants moving here who expect everything in the language of the country they came from. In Los Angeles, they have to print ballots for voting in hundreds of foreign languages. That is complete bullshit.

The Spanish use to rule the South West, and Mexico has a treaty with the U.S. that Mexican people shall be able to speak Spanish in the South West, or what was Mexico. Also, Los Angeles is the second largest Spanish speaking city. Also, LA is were much of the world meets the U.S., translation, many countries trade to the U.S. using L.A. ports, and they ship their goods through there.

First, in LA, it's not hundreds, and second the Mexican gov't gives services to a few languages, mainly Spanish and Native language. Though it's not Japanese people are knocking down the door to get into the US.
