In fact the movement is in the other direction, with younger Hispanics becoming anglos, or at least becoming English dominant.
Even if you go to places like Laredo which are 95% Hispanic, an Indo-American kid will integrate into the broader American anglo culture and will only acquire those snippets of Hispanic culture that have become mainstream Americana.
This is quite different from Montreal/Quebec where a growing segment of the population is made of people of non-francophone origin but who live pretty much seamlessly as francophone Québécois.
It's been estimated that about 15% of the people who are categorized as "francophones" in Montreal aren't of francophone origins.
In Miami you don't really have anything like this: comedian Mariana Mazza. Born and raised in Montreal. Lebanese mother and Uruguyan father.
