It might be true in florida, but in most other places its not. There are a lot of hispanic people within my vicinity and all of them speak english.
It is true here. But, then again, they either come from New York or their original country/island. They even speak of places, in New York, that only have Spanish speakers. 
Sure. But thats the same of almost any ethnic group in NY. There is china town, little italy, etc etc etc. There are a bunch of places in and around the city that are almost exclusive to certain groups. Mostly because they are/were immigrants and are adjusting.

A good way to adjust is to ignore the common culture of the area along with the language!

Pish Posh, I was sitting at the library and there are a lot of hispanics that were taking English classes....they are trying to change! You WN's only see one sided views. 
Good for you - I see people coming to my school to get their children enrolled - not knowing any English at all. They don't TRY to learn it either. You CAN'T relate your area to mine - what's teh Hispanic population percentage? How many are coming a year? More questions need to be asked. Spanish is about as common, if not more common, around here than English. Learning Spanish can be more useful than English.
