Historically, the states of the southwest have had a large percentage of the population being of Hispanic descent. It went unnoticed until the "ethnic" rights rabble-rousers started poking around.
To deny the Hispanic pluralities of those states is to ignore history and one always does that at their peril. I'm sure their are libraries in your area that would cover such topics as The Mexican-American War and Manifest Destiny. Another clue might be LOS ANGELES is of Spanish derivation, as is California, Florida, New MEXICO, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and Texas to name a few.

Sorry, just because you don't see something, doesn't mean it's not there.

Historically, the states of the southwest have had a large percentage of the population being of Hispanic descent. There's a huge difference between having a large percentage of English-speaking American citizens of Hispanic descent and having a large percentage of illegal immigrants, many of whom speak only Spanish.
