VivirLatino

I was watching Pat Buchanan on Real Time with Bill Maher go on and on about how the United States is being invaded by Latinos and that the English language is threatened. I won’t even get into how English has always been a language that has borrowed from other languages and instead will point to a recent report that says “no way Jose” to the English only, anti-Latino immigrant hype.

A few generations after families in Latin American countries move to the United States, fluency in Spanish dies out and English becomes dominant, according to a new paper published by sociology professors from California and New Jersey. The study suggests that Mexican immigrants arriving in Southern California today can expect only five out of every 100 of their great-grandchildren to speak fluent Spanish.
