Is the northwestern quadrant of the El Paso metropolitan area the least effected? You know, around Sunland Park, NM and Anthony, TX/NM. Maybe the Sunland Park Mall area? The Montana Road area didn't look too bad, though the downtown area and southeastern sections looked to have more Spanish. I could be wrong. You tell me, you live near there.

There are a few neighborhoods that still have English spoken in them, the West side, parts of the NE especially around the military base, and parts of the East side. The housing projects of course are the worst because they have no need to ever learn English. The colonias are all around but I'd have to say those are better people but most won't ever learn English. You see people here who immigrated from Mexico over 20 years ago who have never made the effort to learn English and never will. The bilingual programs are filled which means many don't want their kids to learn English either. We also have a very high middle school and high school dropout rate and of course dependence on government programs.
