I recall reading a part of [[National Geographic]] magazine, from the articles on [[Los Angeles]] in the January 1979 issue, referenced to the rise of immigration from Mexico to Southern California. "What was a trickle became a flood as the latest invasion of Latin American newcomers into Los Angeles is turning the US' 3rd largest city into a Spanish-speaking majority city by the end of the century (year 2000). The development is called Another [[Quebec]] named for the Canadian province where today French is the sole official language." + [[User:Getitstraight|Getitstraight]] 11:08, 14 December 2009 (EST)

::There is no comparison to Quebec. The immigrants to the US learn English quickly--faster than the Germans, Poles and Italians did a century ago. 1848 does not really play a role today--it's geographical nearness to Mexico that is most important, and that is changing. The 2010 census map will show a large Latno presence in most states. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 11:16, 14 December 2009 (EST)
