Most Hispanic-Americans do learn English it is their refusal to use it as their primary language where assimilation is questionable. As for loyalty to this country how is it being loyal to this country by putting their ethnic group here illegally above our immigration laws and calling their law abiding fellow Americans all kinds of nasty names for wanting our immigration laws respected and enforced? That's loyalty?
Yes most hispanic Americans know English, & like you said there is no assimilation if our laws are not respected.
Many illegals do not & bypass the immigration process.
NEVER said it wasn't.
All I said it was an opinion.
You formed an OPINION.
Allow me to recommend a reference, to get a better understanding of words in English language:
Should: A word used in auxiliary function to...
1- express condition
2- express obligation
3- express futurity
4- express the probable or expectation
5- express a request in a polite manner or to soften a direct statement
The application in both sentences of mine was geared towards #4. Where do you get this idea of "opinion" from?
OP never answered my upthread question, why does someone who is not too fond of immigrants live in NYC? a city known as a port of entry for a LONG time, with a statue in the harbor welcoming the huddled masses. Why not move to an interior, whiter area of USA. problem solved

Most "immigrants" both legal and illegal are coming through our southern border now, not NYC. Whiter area? Why not a blacker area? What does white have to do with it?
Maybe the problem you are seeing is the result of a massive, uncontrolled migration of Hispanics into metropolitan areas, where the people form pockets of little Columbia, little Mexico, little El Salvador etc...
Its mainly immigration from one side of the border. It should be look at as an invasion.
The problem is that many of the poorer ones cannot read or write Spanish. They can speak it and it ends there (average 5th grade education). It is very difficult for them to learn English. They heavily depend on their kids to translate for them.
