No offense but you are off base. LA has not always been a majority of spanish speaking illegals but it is now.

Twenty years ago, Dallas was a decent city..now Dallas and many of it's suburbs are crowded with illegals who not only don't speak english but are somehow afforded free education, medical and the free lunch program.

There is nothing wrong with speaking spanish but honestly, these people have no reason to learn because everything here is IN spanish.

When you move to an endangered state (CA,TX,AZ, with others to follow), you may have a better understanding of the problem that faces our country.

Historically, the states of the southwest have had a large percentage of the population being of Hispanic descent. It went unnoticed until the "ethnic" rights rabble-rousers started poking around.
To deny the Hispanic pluralities of those states is to ignore history and one always does that at their peril. I'm sure their are libraries in your area that would cover such topics as The Mexican-American War and Manifest Destiny. Another clue might be LOS ANGELES is of Spanish derivation, as is California, Florida, New MEXICO, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and Texas to name a few.
