Why is it so hard to understand that we are simply seeing a greater influx of newly immigrated Hispanic citizens and it only seems, in the vacuum of present time, that they are never going to learn English? They will learn English the way most immigrants learned English, with time and interaction with people who speak English.
Isn't it obvious what is happening? Before 9/11 we didn't have this kind of hysteria. Conservatives are trying to turn us into a country of xenophobes. Everybody needs to calm the hell down.
