BitchTapes: Las Rockeras

Spanish is the most-spoken language in U.S. homes after English, according to a Pew Research poll. It is the majority language in 21 sovereign states, and more than 440 million people speak it worldwide. If you don’t speak it already, learn it. Walls are not the future, y’all.
