Why are there Spanish-speaking states in the United States?

The reason why there are Spanish-speaking states in the United States is because of Spanish immigrants.

Spanish is more commonly spoken in the southern states of the United States because there are many Hispanic immigrants in these states. Spanish is also spoken in the southern states of the United States (such as Arizona, New Mexico, California, etc.), but there are some differences between American Spanish and Spanish Spanish, just like the difference between British English and American English.

There are some differences between American Spanish and Spanish Spanish words. For example, tomar is an American Spanish word, while coger is a Spanish word, both meaning "ride". Another example: plural second person pronouns are vosotros in Spanish, ustedes in American Spanish, and there are many other similar situations.
