I live in a heavily Spanish-speaking neighborhood (mixed in with some old-time New Jersey folk and a sprinkling of yuppies) and I agree with this article. I think young Hispanics want to speak English. Like rock'n'roll, English is here to stay. It will never die.

I'd love to hear your Spanish speaking neighbor speaking with a Jersey accent. Then I'd love to see you try and function in an area where you can not go into a store and get service, where the literature is printed first in Spanish and English as an aftertought.

You really ought to get out of Jersey, see the world.

That may be the case in the northwest, but here in the southwest there is an anti-english movement among illegals. The illegal in my favorite illegal taco shop had a t-shirt that said "no hablo ingles", which is by the way a declaration of war rather than a statement of fact.
