If I'm not mistaken, the author of this report, Roberto Suro, used to be an extremely pro-immigration reporter for the Washington Post. If it's the same guy, he would never report on stories that showed immigration or immigrants in a bad light, was completely biased, and would actually argue with sources with whom he disagreed. He had the story about the immigrant being deported to Guatemala who assaulted the 12-year-old unaccompanied girl on the airplane, from a few years back, but never wrote it.

"The melting pot is at work, as the survey shows that the children of Latino immigrants are English speakers and express views closer to the American mainstream that the immigrant generation,"

Living in an area where there are many Latinos, I am always surprised at the attitudes some people from other parts of the country have towards them.

In my experience they work hard, are usually very happy and fun to be around, and are very loyal friends and neigbors. They might not be perfect but then who is?

"Eighty percent of the Hispanics surveyed said they think Latino children growing up in the United States will get a better education than they did in their native counties, ..."

Are the "Hispanics" being surveyed talking about some other group called "Latinos", or what?

But most Latinos -- 86 percent -- agree that discrimination is a problem, and it keeps Hispanics from succeeding in general.

And now are the "Latinos" talking about some other group known as "Hispanics"? I am so confused!

"but it also shows that some of them are concerned with the moral values their children are picking up."

Yet another reason to debunk the anti-Hispanic immigration paranoia. Socially conservative Christians come to a country sliding towards moral bankruptcy and complain about the culture, and we're afraid of them...I'm for secure borders, but mass immigration by people that still hold and practice traditional values is the least of this country's worries...

When I read an article that has that many "percents", fractions, ratios and cpmparisons, I quickly lose interest and suspect the credibility of the piece...nuff said?

...the children of Latino immigrants are English speakers...

Hopefully this is not just propaganda (anything with the name "Pew" in it reminds me of that ultra-liberal polling organization that is always featured on NPR), because from my experience, the littlest ones are still speaking Spanish. Bilingual education ensures that they won't know enough English to get productive jobs.
