Arizona: New Linguistic Order

Just as I had expected it from Arizona, the law passed. Recently I have been seeing the news and the chaos created with the new law is big in so many ways but since we are speaking of language this law is big for that too. It is my belief that there is a hidden agenda with this new law. Now many of the immigrant families are now fleeing the state of Arizona into other states. One of the states that is going to have a major impact is New Mexico. Being a neighboring state of Arizona a lot of the immigrant families are going to end up in New Mexico. For New Mexico, at least in language terms, this is good. A whole new wave of Spanish is going to settle in the state. The linguistic borders have moves once again. I say that the linguist borders have moved because if you remove all those immigrant families from Arizona you are one step closer to English only. The exposure to the Spanish language is reduced by more than half making again English the superior language. Now what is scary is that all states would start to adopt this kind of law. I personally do not think so. We Spanish speakers are a drug and the others are dependent on the ecstasy of our language. Now I would be great to conduct a study since now to show the impact of this law in New Mexico linguistic dynamics.
