Actually, Mexico started the Mexican-American War by inviting Americans into Texas to help them deal with the ferocious Comanches. Afterwards, they decided they didn't like the Americans either, and tried to kick them out - after they had already established themselves there.Spanish was here long before English was. Mexico owned the entire southwest of this country long before the white man showed up. It was the United States that started the American/Mexican war taking their land away from them. "Remember the Alamo."
You'll find that many people in the southwest are bilengual. We're talking Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and half of California. If you go to Mexico today, you'll find that Mexicans are learning English much faster than Americans are learning Spanish. It's because of the tourism in Mexico that cater to Americans and Canadians.
It's good to have many different languages in this country. If you remember correctly after 9/11 we were begging people to come forward that could speak Farsi.

And NO, it is NOT good to have many different languages in a country.m If you do, you don't have a country. You have a mess.
The United States, a country that has achieved more than any other country is like it or not, diverse.
