Contrast that with today's immigrants. I see saris, burqas, exclusively foreign-languaged signs, and God knows what backward, superstitious, and barbaric customs occur outside the public eye that our culture has deemed unacceptable (like cockfighting, polygamy, and female genital mutilation, to name just three). America isn't infinitely elastic to accept all these radical changes and incorporate them in some productive manner.People said the same kind of stuff about the immigrants who came here in the 1800s. People were sure Catholic Irish immigrants could never assimilate into Protestant America. They were even more wary of Jews from Eastern Europe. Go back to the 1700s and we find Ben Franklin writing how German and English people were just too different to ever coexist in Pennsylvania. Trust me, the grandchildren of these immigrants will be so assimilated it will make their grandparents sick. Mark |
