Really? My great grandparents 1. Didn't have a sponsor 2. Didn't come here to "become Americans" and 3. Came here because of economic opportunity. Why would they want to become white bread Calvinists anyway?

"Sponsorship" was a product of the laws past in the 1920s.

All I can say is that the second and third generation Mexicans I have encountered are as American as you and I. The first generation NEVER assimilates.

The problem is not with Arabs, it is with MUSLIMS. I lived in a nabe with a large Arab Muslim population, and they were not the type of folks we want to have in this country.

Right on! (Glad you ran out of bubblegum!)
