"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."

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.

They could be extremists, and not representative of all Latino immigrants, or Americans of Latino descent. Just as Americans of European descent shouldn't be represented by racists who would kill those who aren't of European descent (same goes for those of African descent), Latinos who promote sending Americans of European descent to Europe and forming some Aztlan shouldn't be considered as a representation of mainstream Latino immigrants or Americans of Latin American descent.
