I have a feeling you haven't done much traveling throughout the USA lately. There are large areas of the country going Spanish-speaking ----store announcements are done in Spanish, change is counted out in Spanish, advertisements are in Spanish and Spanish is a required subject in school and many are not learning English at all ----not even after living in this country for 20-30 years. Los Trabajadores Fronterizos are sueing the federal government for more NAFTA displaced workers benefits and part of the lawsuit claims that job retraining that tried to teach them English is discrimination ----they refuse to learn English even if that might mean they could work instead of receive welfare. And these are people who have lived here many years.

Quite the contrary. I stay in AZ for a few weeks every summer, and my mother still lives there. We also go to Vegas every year. When the Hispanic newspapers catch up to the German papers in 1913, then it's a trend.
