Watching COPS over the years, I’ve noticed that law enforcement along our southern border and in much of the intermountain west is about half people with Spanish surnames. They all act and sound pretty American to me.

Even on its 1990 list, the Census Bureau lists dozens of the old-time Spanish settler names in its top 1000 Most Common Surnames in the U.S. (in order of frequency):

Garcia, Martinez, Rodriguez, Hernandez, Lopez, Gonzalez, Perez, Sanchez, Rivera, Torres, Ramirez, Flores, Diaz, Cruz, Ortiz, Gomez, Morales, Ramos, Reyes, Ruiz, Chavez, Gutierrez, Vasquez, Castillo, Alvarez, Fernandez, Garza, Romero, Mendoza, Moreno, Medina, Silva, Vargas, Herrera, Soto, Jimenez, Castro, Lucas, Pena, Mendez, Santiago, Guzman, Munoz, Valdez, Santos, Delgado, Aguilar, Vega, Ortega, Maldonado, Rios, Guerroro, Estrada, Sandoval, Colon, Alvarado, Padilla, Nunez, Figueroa, Cortez, Luna, Marquez, Ayala, Vazquez, Acosta, Espinoza, Molina, Dominguez, Contreras, Deleon, Navarro, Robles, Avila, Trevino, Salinas, Campos, Montoya, Guerra, Gallegos, Miranda, Pacheco, Rojas, Serrano, Trujillo, Juarez, Villareal, Carrillo, Mercado, Velez, Camacho, Rivas, Ochoa, Cardenas, Cantu, Fuentes, Salas, Santana, Cabrera, Cervantes, Zamora, Suarez, Rosario, Melendez, Aguirre, Franco, Calderon, Valenzuela, Acevedo, Barrera, Rosales, Macias, Sosa, Nieves, Valencia; Delacruz, DeJesus.

Trujillo: I hope that is Mama Trujillo, her family were tenant farmers on my Grandfathers land. Gave me an eternal love of Mexican home cooking when I was a kid.
