My family and ancestors didn't have to be told...they did it themselves. Speaking the original language was discouraged. They were Americans now and everyone in the family had to learn english.
Not the same as with those from south of the border. Many still can't speak english and don't have any intentions of doing so. And their loyalty remains with Mexico, etc.
No, it is not the same.

And their loyalty remains with Mexico, etc."". . . Really? Just exactly how do you know this.. Are you a Mexican, living amongst the multitude? Perhaps you are married to a Mexican, with a huge family that refuses to speak English, living amongst the multitude of Mexicans who feel exactly the same?
Are you a Spanish teacher in the inner city, with an enrollment that refuses to learn or has no interest in learn any language because they long to be back in Mexico? Fascinating..
