They don't have this problem anymore. They assimilated.
Some people fear that Mexicans will become a majority in the southwest states and one day decide to return to Mexico or form an independent nation. Seems outlandish now, and I hope forever, but Quebec is proof that such a notion isn't impossible. And, Americans make it more likely by making our children learn Spanish instead of making them learn English.
It's not quite the same with blacks though, because while black people definitely have a distinct culture seperate from whites, and while this is, by and large, not a good thing, it's not the same kind of problem we will end up having with the Mexicans. Blacks may want their own culture, and some of them might like speaking a silly bastardized English just to be different, but they are still Americans and there is no possibility of a black seperatist movement.
