Make your land like ours!

I also think that it may be dangerous to the assimilation process, and this seems to be generally recognized by the minorities themselves.

I remember a referendum in California (five years ago?) in which state financing for Spanish lessons at schools was rejected. Analysists discovered that the no-vote had been particularly strong in districts with a Spanish-speaking majority.

I was living in San Diego at the time, and I remember that. It was pretty funny.

Rethinking some of this, it seems that at least part of the problem (as mentioned earlier) has to do with pandering politicians than the will of the people.
