There is a difference between assimilating and being assimilated

I have nothing against Mexican Americans and I think they are a vital part of the South West culture but there has to be some reasonable limit. If I wanted to move to Mexico I would but I don’t want Mexico to move here. You may not mind being a minority and having the culture you grew up in regulated to a minority culture but that really isn’t a choice you can make for the rest of us. If Texas becomes a majority Hispanic state it will do more then just change the radio stations and throw up more Fiesta grocery stores. Massive illegal immigration of under educated and low skill workers will drag Texas down the same shit hole California is sinking into with a welfare and unlivable inner cities. No thanks.
The Arizona immigration bill thingy

It's not just outrageous; it's plain stupid. The latter is almost as offensive as the former.

the "overrunning" of culture and language is exaggerated, imo

I think the primary problem - in both cases - is language, yes.
