Latino 'Others'

http://theamericano.com/

This website is for all Hispanic news and commentary on world events with particular attention to the Americas. It is clearly stated that it is run by conservative mainly Republican Latinos and as such is quite a rarity as perceptions are that most Latinos vote Democrat. 

Latinos and Hispanics are the largest growing minority group in America, since 1990 their numbers have doubled and are expected to do the same in the next twenty years. This means that by sheer force of people they are going to have massive impacts on American culture and way of life, even more significantly than they have already. This website is bilingual, parts in English and parts in Spanish, which reflects one of the large issues associated with Latinos today. Their population concentration is mainly in and around southern states close to the Mexican border and as such there are whole neighborhoods exclusively comprised of Spanish speaking people, whole districts even. They still have to learn English in schools and use it for official purposes but is that right? There are movements who want individuals to be able to decide what language their children are taught in. Spanish is part of their culture and it could be argued that they have no use for English in their daily lives. On the opposite side of the argument other groups are calling it un-American to do so, that English has always been the national language and therefore to live there you must learn it, and i do agree with them. But if speaking English is an integral part of what constitutes being American and there are vast portions of cities and states that it is never heard in, are those areas still part of America??    

The other main stigma attached to Latino/Hispanics is their association with illegal immigrants, this website clearly tries to define and separate that association. It states that 'The Americano believes that the United States can and should have a generous legal and documented immigration policy based on the needs of free markets'. This is calling for even stricter regulations on immigration to crack down on illegals and allow decisions on immigrants based on the needs of the country.
