That's a fact. Hell, there are a few towns in Illinois that for all practical purposes have been annexed by Mexico. In those towns (for example, Little Village and Pilsen) the Mexican flag dominates from buildings, houses, and cars. If one hears the English language spoken in those towns at all it is more than likely from some poor lost soul who took a wrong turn and freaked when he found him- or herself in another country, and is desperately asking any passerby for directions out of their, only to be rewarded with — if he or she is lucky — a blank stare; or, if not so lucky, a trip to the morgue.
