So what???...what do you think little Italy was like circa 1935?

Better question: Why would I care? This isn't Italy circa 1935.

Someone who is from Mexico can live here for 27 years and not learn much English because they will always think of Mexico as their homeland...BIG DEAL...

Why don't they stay in their homeland if they are so fond of the culture?

their kids and grandchildren will not feel this way...I guaran-damn-tee it. Most immigrant children (who have been here for any extended period of time) speak English, and that is a fact.

Oh goodness. If I had a dollar for every gangsta-mobile dirving by a 22 year old I've seen with a Mexican flag hanging off the window ....

That, my friend, is borderline racist. I doubt you would say that to someone who has an Irish or Italian flag flying in the back of their truck (and I see those all the time where I live). Secondly, what on earth does a flag hanging out the back of a window have to do with whether the driver can speak English?

Face it, the demographics of this country are changing. If you don't like it, maybe YOU should move to Austrailia.
