I have heard that the Spanish in Mexico, you could hear a english influence by listening to thier speech (or their pronunciation) I am not talking about Spanglish words (anglicismos). in a dictionary it was saying that you could hear that the Mexican people spoke differently, or maybe I was wrong

I think English has been more influenced by Spanish.Over the centuries in Europe we see a Northward and a westward trend for languages. If you compare many words in both languages such as --responsibilidad-responsibility.it is rather obvious.
In latin America one common word for girl is --chica.In English a girl is sometimes called a--chick.It is obvious -chica did not come from -chick.
