Bluntly:

My family is of the opinion that the US will turn into Mexico. They say Mexicans want to live here, but are loyal to Mexico. As proof of this, they cited a supposed school in Georgia teaching in Spanish.

I know they are wrong, but I am missing some pieces here.

Even the parts of the US that WERE Mexico are not in danger of turning into Mexico. New Mexico will not turn into old Mexico. Many Mexicans who come here do so because they’d like to be Americans. Second generation kids of Mexican immigrants don’t want to learn Spanish.

You may not be able to convince them of anything. Don’t worry about it if they insist on being wrong. You don’t have to correct them. If you want to, though, just take your time gathering info to make your case.
