No, Native Americans (or whatever the name of this place was before Amerigo Vespucci plastered his name all over the place) When Cortes landed, there wasn't a "Mexican" anywhere. There had been inhabitants at least back to a time when no civilization existed on the other side of the ocean. In time, Spaniards formed an upper class with the original inhabitants living as subject peoples. Fast forward, and they pick our crops, shingle our roofs, and butcher our meat. And makes babies like no one else. I see a long term process where by European immigrants could be slowly displaced.
FENCES, soldiers, infra-red cameras: the United States goes to great lengths to hold back the teeming masses across its southern border (see article). But the masses are teeming less. Mexico's birth rate, once among the world's highest, is in free-fall. In the 1960s Mexican mothers had nearly seven children each (whereas women in India then had fewer than six). The average now is just over two—almost the same as in the United States. The UN reckons that from 2040 the birth rate in Mexico will be the lower of the two.
Can someone remind me of the time when Italian immigrants were projected to become ~30% of the population, when German immigrants had help through political correctness, multiculturalism, and affirmative action. What about the Irish? Did they receive welfare at a higher rate like hispanics?
A Latino is simply a spanish speaking American. Sure, technically the USA stole the title of "American" but these Latinos are from "North American", "Central America" and "South America".
Come again? or... que demonios?
You go on a diatribe about how all Americans are Americans, and then say ^^^ that?

Never! NO matter how progressives spin their truths, the fact is most illegals come here for the perks. It's not because they're beholding to the US. They want to become citizens to keep the perks, not because they love the country. These people are nothing like the legal immigrants of the 19th-20th centuries.
The USA is the land of immigrants and they have always been embraced to come to this country, if you have a problem with that, then don't read what is written at the base of the statue of liberty.
Why do so many Americans fear the fact that in 2050, the Latinos will dominate the demographics? What would be so bad if the star spangled banner would one day be sung in Spanish?

They are ALL Americans and the only difference is that they MOSTLY speak Spanish (of course except Brazil and Guyanas etc..).
One cannot say that all brown people are Latinos because in fact a Latino is a hybrid race and can be black, white, brown, asian.. you wont know the difference unless you ask.
I am an Iraq veteran and I strongly believe what is the big deal? Let them take over and make the USA better!

See, that's the problem! Immigrants are supposed to assimilate, not displace.
I have African, Spanish Indian (that's Mexican), Italian, French and Slav ancestry - Now that's how assimilation works.
Florida? They are more than likely Cubans not Mexicans.
Does that make them better somehow?
