Hispanic Minority’s Threat To American Identity

Résumé: This study aims at studying whether the Hispanic minority's threat to American identity is a fact or fiction. Due to its short history, and being a mixture of religious and ethnic groups, America is very different from the rest of European countries. Therefore, the American identity is exceptional. The huge number of Hispanic immigrants to the United States, their density, linguistic homogeneity, and other characteristics that distinguish them constitute a threat to the American identity. As they seek to divide the country into two cultures: Anglo and Hispanic, and two languages: English and Hispanic. So, some studies claim that this threat is fact, while others insist that this threat is fiction. Ultimately, and based on numerous studies, the emergence of a self-sufficient subgroup that primarily speaks Spanish does not pose a serious threat, and Greater America remains an indomitable nation, identity, and entity. Also, English remains its original language which cannot be affected by any foreign language.
