re: Spanish speaking in the United States

So you don't notice any differences between the immigrant then and the immigration now? I'll give you some hints. The numbers are vastly different, and the population is coming from a neighbor rather than overseas, and that neighbor happens to have a historical claim to vast portions of US territory. Now, keep pretending these immigration patterns are exactly alike.

Then make a thread about it. This one's about language and he was absolutely correct. Even now it's not just Spanish. People come here from china or Korea and live in communities where they can speak their native language. They do out here anyway.

I agree that one difference is that Mexicans are coming in such numbers that they these types of communities are not just in big cities anymore. Lots of medium and small towns with huge foreign born populations.
