> Every wave of immigrants have tended to cluster in communities comprising others of their origin. That is not an unreasonable thing and the "third world" part is thinly veiled racism. The clustering is the problem. It allows foreign cultures to take root and reproduce in the U.S. And there's nothing "racist" about it. Culture is not superficial, like skin color. Culture drives differences in how people participate in government, civic society, etc. E.g. if you're in a little Vermont town and a bunch of Alabamans move in and start changing the culture, it's not "racist" for you to oppose that migration. The same is true if you're in any place that's has a more successful culture that's seeing immigration from places that have less successful cultures. > Older adults who come here are likely to be slower in assimilation of language and culture, but their children very much grow up as "americans". That wasn't true even for the European immigrants. If you define "American" as orderly, austere New Englanders, the Ellis Island immigrants never became fully American. Even generations later, people's cultural backgrounds affect their attitudes: https://www.rorotoko.com/micro-interviews/20230913-jones-gar.... |

Are you going to deny that there's legitimate reasons why it happens and that in and of itself that clustering is not a problem?
You'll see this for yourself -- kids want more than anything to "belong", and the first born are going to sound "American" and try to act "American" because they want to belong amongst their American peers.
Your link was not on point -- show me the studies of clustering in America that are hurting this nation.

And again, you manage to ever acknowledge the "rules for thee but not for me" regarding the sneaking across the border by the First Lady.
So let's play a game: you are now president -- what are you going to do about the "border crisis"?
