I have worked across 75% of the states in Mexico, though geographically almost 100%.
I have had more than one person down there in political conversations wonder aloud how much different Mexico would be if the were an English rather than a Spanish colony. (Both are caucasion), but culturally night and day, especially with corruption in government
And learn English!

I think a great deal of them would.
