Simply having a neighborhood full of Hispanics does not a barrio make. Some of us actually have managed to learn English, even, in the last 300 years our families have been here.
True.

Ah. So you are Americans and your families have become part of the melting pot mosaic of America which has enriched our heritage and helped make America an interesting and vital place with a diverse and energetic culture.
I was referring to those who flood our borders, refuse to assimilate, refuse to learn the English language, refuse to become Americans, and expect the larger culture to embrace them and accomodate their unwillingness to jump into the melting pot and choose, instead, to overwhelm the larger culture until it disappears and looks like home.
