Of course any one that thinks this is living in complete ignorance of American history. How is it that all the big cities in America developed these enclaves with names like: Little Italy, Chinatown, Little Havana, etc. The simple fact is the first generation of imigrants, since the original colonists that didn't mingle with the native population, have ALWAYS clustered together with their own kind. It's pretty scary being in a new country with new traditions a new language and all the other new things. It's much easier for people to phase into the new country (usually in generations) by clustering together and slowly spreading out. That's how it's worked since day one, that seems to be how it's always gonna work. Anybody thinking that this is a new development is a fool.

39 posts before somebody talks with any sense! America has *always* taken in new citizens from other lands and often the first wave learn little more than a rudimentary understanding of English - enough only to find a job and make a living. In most cases, they depend on their own kind to help them adjust to our country and culture. The only difference is we now have governement mandates that are more accommodating to foreign tongues than before.

The children are often sent to American schools where they do learn English and become Americanized much faster than the first generation did. This is how the process has historically worked and assimilated - not with the first generation but with the second.

It is an inescapable fact that the vast majority of our leaders in government are still white males. Look at the racial make-up of the U.S. House and Senate and you'll see few non-white faces. The whites still control the government. And the foreigners, those that even bother to vote, are overwhelmingly electing white candidates.

Now look at the business sector and, again, you'll see white males in great dominance. It is well-known, too, that, without a good working vocabularly in English, your chances of succeeding in American business are slim. There *is* pressure for all immigrants to learn English to be able to do more than menial labor in America.

I honestly don't fear what immigrants are doing to our country and our culture as much as what liberalism and the media are doing to our country and our culture. While it is easy to blame those who don't speak your tongue, the real evil comes from the whites who want to indoctrinate immigrants and their children with their liberal mores and mindset.
