I have never met a second generation immigrant to America who can write in his parents language, or a third generation that can speak it.

I have accepted the inevitable.

On the other hand, in a few years translation mental software will be available and you will be able to speak whatever language you want.

I can only assume these Spaniards have never actually been to the US.

Much of the growth of the Hispanic community is not related to the number of individuals.

They're becoming Americans.

Latin America is not doing that much better than we are in this regard :(

So, how is assimilation going down on the border? Same as ever I assume?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That was an archaic version of Castillian which was the dialect of San Antonio at the time -_-
