It was spoken as factual.

Of course not because most people wake up having an opinion on something they know jack crap about.

The most commonly-used definition of "white person" is "a person with a visible degree of European ancestry."

Having borders and telling people they may not migrate here and there is a relatively recent thing.
There have been borders since time began.

How many times do I have to repeat that non-hispanics are only opposed to illegal aliens whether they be Mexican or not before the other side gets it? Hispanics are conquering the U.S. via illegal immigration and via anchor babies. Why shouldn't any country's citizens object to a takevover in that manner? It isn't lawful, acceptable or desirable. How many times do I have to ask the question that if Mexico was being overun with millions of illegal Chinese wouldn't they object also? Would they we called anti-Chinese for that? Of course not, because of the hypocricy and double standards of these ethnocentric Hispanics.

As for Guatamala your analogy doesn't make any sense. I asked why are Mexicans whining about losing parts of the southwest but not whining about losing Guatamala. As usual, I get no answer to that one either.

They are not whining about it because they would like to isolate their own Indian population at the Yucatan.

You are probably on target with probably 2030 being the last. Texas is about to undergo some major political and demographic changes. I'm been saying on this site for a long time by 2020 or 2024 Texas will be swing state. When that happens all hell in going to break lose with Republican Party. Texas is basically the lynch pin that holds any Republican presidential candidates aspirations in the balance. Simply put there is no way a Republican can win the White House without winning the State of Texas.

So if many of these state residents want to be bilingual what can you do about it? Nada!
150 years have passed and our country's national language is English but many Hispanics still refuse to use it as their primary one? Doesn't sound like assimilation to me. I don't care if anyone is bi-lingual but why not speak this nation's language out in mainstream? You are missing the whole point.
