You know nothing of Illinois. In Chicagoland, pop. 8.9 million, 30% of the population speaks a language other than English at home.

P.S. 20% of the entire state speaks English as a second language

There are entire communities in Illinois that don’t rely on English on a daily basis. I’m talking about grocery stores, banks, utilities services, pet care, bars, restaurants, houses of worship etc that serve these communities in Spanish predominantly, but also Polish, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, Tagalog.
