in increasingly Hispanic South Central L.A., tiny bodegas selling milk, diapers, and piñatas are replacing liquor stores.

Those are probably stores specializing in WIC vouchers (or WIC-only stores). They charge the government the maximum allowable prices for milk, eggs, cheese, and certain dry goods, and then give "free" gifts to the WIC customers.

Kevin Ruiz: “I don’t see assimilation,”

It's too bad that so many immigrants (illegal and legal) are not assimilating to American culture and not embracing American morals and values. .

We should enforce our immigration laws and select immigrants on skills and likely upward mobility, not success in sneaking across the border.

I definitely agree! I wish our government thought the same way, too.

A cessation of the present flood would encourage assimilation.

But there's no end in sight.
