The parents will continue to speak Spanish. Their kids will speak English. Just like every other wave of immigration.

Well, they maintain their Spanish at a much higher rate than other immigrant groups, especially in population centers that are mostly Latino. Come to Texas. Some areas, like Laredo, maintain Spanish indefinitely; it is almost impossible to differentiate Texas from Mexico. I understand that this is an outlier case but the phenomenon seems to be increasing at a slow rate. You are probably right though, these types of cases will probably remain limited to the border.

I've known illegals that have been here for 20+ years that still dont speak english and I lived in atlanta

Yet only 2% of third generations speak Spanish fluently. Just something to ponder.

It is difficult for adults to become fluent in a foreign language, and almost impossible for them to speak without an accent.

I'm quite serious, I was 17, it was shot in atlanta, they bought up a bunch
of milk trucks for us to jump out of and storm the Georgia Power building and
we got to trash Belvedere Mall in decatur... I was a terrorist obviously. not
long after the filmed a lot of FreeJack and Robocop 2 or 3 in a warehouse
converted to a sound stage about a half mile from my house and around the
atlanta area... the crazy cars from free jack were pulled around by what ever
the lead car was like a train and it was little more than a fiber glassed
go-cart

What do you think will happen with the Spanish speakers coming into the USA? Will they continue to speak Spanish? Will they adopt English? Their children? Their children's children? Will the influx continue without end?

Will we eventually end up with Spanglish as a national language? They are moving all around the country now.

El peso me mata.

I'm upset sometimes about the white man invading America
The white man really has no place here outside of what was stolen with the sword.

Generally though no, not angry about the white man invading America. It happened and we have to live with it, but its worth remembering along with the holocaust, Rawanda and all these other genocides. Hopefully someday we'll grow out of all this hatred and let it rest.
