It is a very very safe bet that I live and work with for among and on behalf of immigrants from every place and of every sort every day all day in a much deeper, more comprehensive and consistent manner than anyone else on this site. It's not even close. Immigrants of all sorts understand the value and crucial importance of adapting to the language and culture of the United States far better than any big mouth posting here.
It is also painfully obvious that few posting here have any significant knowledge or perspective on the history of immigration in the United States.
Immigrants today are assimilating just as those before them did. This is true regardless of what anyone scowling at the woman ahead of them in the check out line speaking on her cell phone in a 'scary' unfamiliar language, or anyone raising their car windows in frightened panic because they are driving past a teenager standing on a street corner, or anyone enduring the unspeakable torment of clicking past Univision or pressing 1 for English may want to believe in their spiteful, ignorant fantasies.
