Depiction of Mexicans on US TV

I'm English so I really have no idea how Mexicans are in the US. However, it always stikes me as odd when they have a Mexican character that speaks perfect English but ends every sentence with señor/a. I noticed this recently on Saint Vincent and House M.D I wonder if they actually speak like that. Also, why are Mexicans so often either illegal immigrants or gangsters in Hollywood films?

For the same reason that the Irish are depicted as violent drunks and the Italians are depicted as mobsters: It's easier to make a character adhere to a stereotype, rather than flushing out an organic, fully written character.
