Sorry, I think this is reactionary. I live around Hispanic people every day of my life. The apartment complex I live in is probably 90% Hispanic. There is a small but vocal segment of the Mexican immigrant community that parcels out inflammatory rhetoric about reclaiming parts of the southwestern US, but the vast majority of immigrants both legal and illegal are just busy trying to get by. Activism is a luxury that people too busy picking fruit and cleaning bathrooms can't afford.
