Though the U.S. Census Bureau, since 1990, has dutifully published data that Hispanics "prefer to communicate in Spanish", the data fails to distinguish between speaking, reading or writing. From the second generation on, Mexican-Americans prefer English as the language of communication for reading and writing. However it should it be noted that "cultural" symbolic terms are linguistic devices that can draw the Mexican-American, Latino, reader's attention to your advertisement.
Rand Studies have scientifically demonstrated that by the third generation most Hispanos are English speaking, reading, and writing. Such is the case in the San Diego ADI. Census studies enumerated only a 12 percent Spanish mono-lingual population in our market area.
