Here we go again... You guys just don't get it!
These Spanish speaking people are not visitors or guests... In fact, they were here way before most if not all of the people's family heritages in the US even started
(unless they crossed the land bridge from Asia and have been here ever since) and I don't know if anyone has noticed but, the Spanish speaking population has just surpassed the population of African Americans in this country and making them the #1 minority in the USA! And they have plenty of representation in our government which as we all know is so influential in funding the use of Spanish language in many different aspects of our lives.
Most if not all of these immigrants that come here to live do eventually learn English after some time living here but te recently arrived persons have never heard the English language except for maybe some that had access to American TV...
I believe that a law should be passed that requires every legal resident regardless of what language they prefer, to learn how to speak, read & write in English by the time they have completed living in the USA for 5 years and to apply for citizenship shortly thereafter... If they don't they will be taxed into complying or face deportation instead
The bottom line is this, Too many of these Spanish speaking immigrants have come to the USA to escape many different types of persecution from countries that have had dictators and despots, excessive drug trafficking, misled into thinking that their lives would end up much better only to find out the mistake they made and end up stuck here because of the fact that it's still much worse where they came from... They then realize that they do not understand anyone who's a native and gravitate to locations where there are concentrations of other Spanish speaking people who end up communicating only in Spanish much like the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Jewish, Russian immigrant enclaves/neighborhoods do also, and oh yes it is political from both sides of the aisle as politicians placate these and many more minorities during election time and neglecting them for the most part afterwards...
Now I don't know if you have noticed this but, I have yet to meet a first generation (Born here) American prefer to speak there parent's native language and I think it's because their parents push their children to learn our language (English) even though they do not do the same for themselves... And I think that by doing so, they sacrifice their own future possible opportunities by learning the language themselves and instead focus more on working low paying jobs so that they may use whatever money they have to support their children's education... So, please take a look at this issue from inside out instead looking in from outside... I wouldn't worry about what language will be spoken in the future friends because it will be English - for the most part.
