Mexicans are unique to the Immigration model that they U.S. has set-up. Mexicans are the only group that are not seperated from their homeland by large distances or by a huge body of water.

When you are totally cut-off from your past culture and language then it is easier to assimilate. For instance, Germans who came here now speak English and not German. Many of them became protestant, etc.

Mexicans on the other hand are not like this. My solution is that we have Americans retire in Mexico and change the culture from within...oh Mexicans should have a right to keep and bear arms too. They are defenseless right now in their country. Being able to defend yourself would go a long way to stop the flow of immigration. People are only going to invest and better themselves if they feel safe, and secure in their person and property.

You are correct. The term is contiguity. Nice to see someone who is well-informed.
