The book I am referring to is, Mexifornia: A State of Becoming, by Victor Davis
Hanson.

America the Melting Pot requires at least one ethnic response. I wonder how
people feel about the Balkanization of the United States into XXXXX-Americans.
Students less often answer questions with "I feel" and more often with, among
others, "As a Latino-American I feel". Many American-born Hispanics (we'll
pick on them because they are the most numerous) dream of going back to an
idealized Mexico, the same Mexico that would give them a far inferior way of
life. Likewise Chinese and all nationalities who have their feet planted here
while their hearts are elsewhere. Most menus require a second language, and
even the local Social Security offices "speak your language", by the dozens.
Seems a schizy way to live, not just for the country but for the individuals
with joint loyalties as well.
