South Texas is south Texas; not Mexico. The US has a recognized language of American English - Texas is part of the US. Why should students (of US origin) learn a language to better understand the people south of the border? It's like forcing a German to learn French. (comparing Germanic language to Romantic language)
ETA: The US as a whole used to have MANY different native languages.. why aren't there requisite courses for those?

You’re missing the point. The people already speak Spanish. It used to be part of Mexico
