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

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.

with many of the mexicans I knew that spoke little or no english, the didnt want to learn, most do but there's a large chunk of the population that dont care to learn english, many have no plans of staying here, they want to make their money and retire comfortably in mexico and guatemala

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.

I am not mad in the least about it. I also do not give a shit about illegal immigration to Canada.

I was an illegal in Canada for a summer, working under the table and using someone else's social insurance number, while they used mine in the states.

When I lived in Montreal I had a weed dealer who was an illegal immigrant from Buffalo. She would sneak across the Vermont border to get back and forth.

They're just like any other immigrant wave that's come to the Us- that's what our country was founded on.
This land is your land, this land is my land from California to the New York Island. From the Red Wood Forrest to the Gulf Coast waters, this land was made for you and me.
