It just seems unfair to provide these services just to one segment of society and not the others. I keep hearing that Spanish speakers will soon become the largest minority group in the country, but what I want to know is are they all LEGAL?

I guess in some small way it is due. Many Mexicans were living in Cali and other places in what is now the US (since before they were considered US territory). When the territory became considered USA all of a sudden, the people there were not allowed to call themselves Americans and were not given the same rights because they were not white. Kind of backwards but that's our nation for you.
