I understand your position. IMO, your concerns are overstated. Those are the same arguments, more or less, that have been advanced for the last 150 years. This same scenario has played out many times throughout our history. I don't think America is as fragile as you make it out to be. American culture is in no danger. Eventually, the Mexicans will assimilate completely. My family has and we're hardly unusual.

No doubt, in 100 years Mexican-American snobs will be looking down their noses at [insert next immigrant wave] and making dire predictions about the decline of American culture.

I hope you are right, but I don't think so. My knowledge of history leads me to believe that 100 years from now this country will be a balkanized region of half a billion mostly poor souls, separated into dozens of third-world cultures, with a small number of rich elite running a massive, totalitarian welfare state that will make the Stalinist excesses of the former USSR look like a paradise.

In 100 years there will be no Mexico or United States.
