A co-worker moved up here from Miami just about a year ago and she said that in Miami you can not even get a job flipping burgers unless you speak fluent spanish. No gas station, fast food or any other jobs unless you can speak it. So yeah I would have to agree your comment about limiting opportunities to anyone outside their network.

But back on the topic, how does that situation not fit into the definition given second for the colonization? I don't see how it is any different.

(Colonis(z)e: "To settle in a country, usually an underdeveloped one, remote from one's own, and develop its agricultural and other resources.")

As far as I am aware, Miami was already developed before this relatively recent influx of Spanish speakers -I would say that is the difference.
