No, actually, unlike the southwest US, most of the Hispanic residents here don’t come from Mexico (if you speak Spanish, you can tell from their accents.) They do however come from a LOT of other places:Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay. El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua... (not including a significant Haitian population).

The thing is as a local pundit once noted, everyone here drives according to the rules of their country of origin.

(Incidentally, I would point out that unlike the Mexicans, people from many of these places are more conservative; they did after all come here to get away from the Chavez’s, Ortegas, Kirchners, Correas, Morales’s etc of the world).
