Certainly a powerful piece.
Around here, at least......for now.....immigrants are assimilating. Not necessarily the parents, but the children are assimilated.
You have to keep in mind assimilation is a long process; it takes several generations.
Now, if there are areas where the children are not assimilating, that is VERY WORRISOME and sets off alarm bells.
LOL!! Complete, pure, and unadulterated bullcrap.
You can fully assimilate into America and its culture in one generation, if you really want to. My own family did it, and my father's parents both came here from non English-speaking countries.
Amnesty Update: Setting the Numbers Straight
Since 1970, the population of the US has increased by 100 million; since 1990; by 53 million; and since 2000 by 20 million or the equivalent of our six largest cities. The Bureau of the Census projects that we will have 364 million by 2030 [that works out to 63 million more people in the next 23 years or the equivalent of the current population of the UK] and over 400 million by 2050 with one-quarter of the population being Hispanic. These numbers could be revised upwards if this bill passes.
The annual arrival of 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants, coupled with 750,000 annual births to immigrant women, is the determinate factor of three-fourths of all U.S. population growth. These additional people will require infrastructure [roads, water, electricity, gasoline, etc.], and impact our schools, hospitals, social welfare systems, penal system, etc. Couple these increases with an aging US population faced with entitlement programs about to go belly-up in 10 years and you have some serious public policy issues that could threaten the future of this country.
