Hispanic immigrants (both legal and illegal) are here in such large numbers that most don't feel the need to assimilate. Plus there's a pervasive attitude among them that they're merely reclaiming land that's rightfully theirs. ...which of course further discourages assimilation.
You mean among “some” (or “most”) of them. Reconquista doesn’t really apply to Chicago, for example (although advocates on that side try to make it apply).
>>Plus there’s a pervasive attitude among them that they’re merely reclaiming land that’s rightfully theirs.
Which attitude is pure B.S.
See “The True History of the Southwest, 101”, which I got from a Travis McGee post, and which explains why it’s B.S. It’s towards the bottom of my FR profile page. Page up once or twice from the bottom and you’ll see the title.
