Yes, and that frightens me. The Latin American countries are not doing so well, are they. We can and should prevent that from happening by deporting all illegal aliens, ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegals, cutting back legal immigration to a reasonable number, (say 250,00 a year), and ending chain immigration.
We should replace our insane immigration policies with one that demands education and advanced skills for all new immigrants. Let's stop importing impoverished immigrants by the millions every year!

The Queen has Spoken illustrates a point. There are too many jobs that Americans refuse to do, because its either undignified, or they want double the minimum wage. Americans had been conditioned and programmed by Hollywood and television that the ideal job is one where you never get dirty and earn enough to live a middle-class lifestyle. An example is the TV series "Married with Children" with Ed O'Neill and Katey Sagal; this sitcom shows a shoe salesman who earns enough to afford a 3 bedroom, 2 story house with a basement, and the wife doesn't work. Its totally unrealistic, yet it conditions and programs viewers to subconsciously believe "if you're not living this lifestyle, you're grossly underpaid." A lot of TVs (shows) and movies subconsciously promote materialistic values, which in turn conditions the American people to turn down jobs that doesn't pay enough for them to live the lifestyle they see on the screen.
On your question, its an absolute NO. All these Latin nations do not have a Constitution like the USA; they're ruled by dictators, and they totally forbid firearms ownership, which is how the government silences any opposition, and people who may voice complaints may suddenly disappear overnight. I haven't heard of reporters and journalist who had written articles that criticizes the government, then mysteriously vanish from society (not yet).

I am kinda surprised that you are still calling the US "America." Most of the folks I know in South America consider themselves Americans, too, and believe that there is more than one country in the Americas. I fully agree with them and call myself, "Estadounidensen," though I am still a little stuck in English on how to turn US or United States into an adjective. But I digress. I don't know that the US will ever have the cultural exclusivity to be much like the cultures in the South American countries I have lived in. We are already too racially mixed to find the radical differences they feel between one region, group or country and another. Even after years of it, I still find it humorous to listen to mountain people and coastal people, (Colombians and Ecuadorians, etc., etc), flinging racial insults at one another. Still, economically speaking, I do believe the process of which you speak is well under way. I don't see it as deficiency as much as I see an evolutionary process which has repeated itself many times throughout history. The fact that the Roman Empire fell and suffered centuries of hardship afterward does not reflect badly on Italians. I believe it is a natural evolution. Nothing's quite as sure as change.

theI for one would like to see all illegals deported. I am not against them legally immigrating.
As far as the US becoming just another Latin American country I don't think so. I'm sure most of our fore bearers thought the Irish were going to take over, or the Italians, Or the Greeks, just insert a nationality there for any particular ethnic group.
As long as we stick to our American Ideals they are just going simulate into general culture.
Oklahoma recently enacted a new law that requires authorities to take any illegal alien they find to jail and they will be deported. Illegals left the state in droves. And yes it has greatly impacted the state. Many of the jobs that they held in Oklahoma is not being filled because no one wants to do physical labor.

Yes, I am against amnesty, but even I know that time is on the side of those from Latin American, and we will be in time a if not a Spanish speaking country but one that has two languages. I would not let this go to the heads of those who welcome a Latin American majority, being that most that come from Latin American are poor, what makes you think in time we will not become just like the counties the illegal are running away from. I have always said that Mexico is colonizing us one illegal at a time. Why do you think that they have over 50 Mexican Consulars in the USA. Why would one country care more about their people here than in Mexico. Mexico guards it's southern border like we should, but don't our southern border. Being Mexican American's have duel citizenship, those from Latin American should be put on notice that this is about Mexico controlling the USA, not those from Latin American. The wealthy in Mexico are a lot of things but not looking out for their best interest and making themselves wealthier is not one

No! Not now or ever. We are a multi nationality based group of Americans. Contrary to popular belief, this will never take place! Americans won't allow that to happen. Illegals of all nationalitys will be deported!

That could happen if the illegal immigration problem and
the legal immigration problem are not solved.
