for these same folks NOT to acclimate is further insult....
It's just your imagined insult, as immigrants today are assimilating just as those before them did.
Not so, my dear Watson/Einstein. The immigrants of yesteryear assimilated by hard work, getting their citizenship by studying and taking a history test, learning our language, and most of all, fitting in. Immigrants today don't assimilate at all! They get everything free on the taxpayers dime, most don't work, don't strive for citizenship, don't learn the language, and certainly make no attempt to fit in. I'm sick to death of trying to make a simple phone call and having to sit through a Spanish interpretation before getting routed. I'm also sick of how absolutely rude immigrants behave. At the top of my list are Asians. Ever notice how they have stone faces, won't smile when you smile at them, won't exchange pleasantries, not to mention can't drive a car? They can certainly manufacture them, but they sure can't drive them.
