In most countries, if you have government business, you will do it in the language of the country. You cannot take your drivers license test in Germany in English. In the US take it in Spanish, fill out your IRS forms in Spanish, Kyrol etc. No wonder they don't assimilate!
Europe the US/Canada are all now experiencing this problem with the current groups of immigrants into both areas and example would be the Muslims wanting Sharia law to be used for them instead of the Law of the land. In other words we want to live where we want to but we should still be able to follow the laws and customs of where we came from even if they are against the law of the country we are living in.

Irish, Italian, Polish and Russian had been accused of the same thing you are accusing Hispanics.
And by the way English has never been the official languange of the U.S. and it will never be.
