I’m Hispanic but my family isn’t stuck in an anti-education, work-before-school mentality. I’m on my way to be a mathematician, my brother is an endodontist, my other brother is an electronics engineer with an MBA, another is a avionics engineer, and still another is a private detective. And yes my parents were both born in Mexico and came over legally in 1950.

Obviously - you and your family ASSIMILATED...
Obviously - you and your family took full advantage of the opportunity to SUCCEED..

I didn’t interpret the article to damn all immigrants, but to point out that too many failing immigrants allow their “culture” to stand between them and that which is POSSIBLE in America..

I’m a first generation American myself....and the first on either side of my family to get an education past the 8th grade!
