From what I've heard, Mexican laws about voting, applying for benefits, etc. are very strict. If we were to pass identical laws here, the outcry would be very loud.

Dunno why this is pertinent, but I agree with you.

It's another thing to come here - especially illegally - and to demand that our country change to meet your demands.

No, that is exactly the thing. For example, in my town the Armenian population wanted a public school to use Armenian language and teach an Armenian curricula. It did not get any further than the Latinos we are arguing about. But this is not different from any other population where the old country culture is still revered. Eventually they will give up the idea and set up schools to replace or enhance public school curricula like the Chinese and Hebrew schools, for example.

BTW: none of them demand Tagalog ballots when they vote. Well in California, no one has to demand Tagalog voter materials. The state decided they would be a good thing a long time ago.
