Ethnic groups have always had their own neighborhoods when they first came to America and they continued to speak their own language and in some cases if they spoke English it was referred to as BROKEN ENGLISH.
Some never became citizens and they had their own churches and newspapers etc etc

This has always been so

What is different today is
1. They were here legally
2. There was no WELFARE
3. There was no FREE MEDICAL CARE
4.They kids attended school where English was taught as was REAL American History and patriotism was inculcated
5. Eventually their offspring assimilated and spread out
