Immigrants work hard as shite because that's what they are used to.

another assumption that "American" equals white-guy values.
What "white-guy values" are you talking about exactly?

MY Grandfathers is the son of a 1st generation american father with 2 russian parents, and a immigrant russian mother. Doesn't speak any russian. They spoke english inhis home because that is what they speak here.
MY other grandfather grew up speaking french in the country, and was whipped in school for speaking french. Thats was what English Second Language was in the 1930's

Hell, let em all in for all I care anymore.
Only thing, since we seem to be open to letting pretty much anyone come in, don't complain about poverty because it will come with the territory.

are you serious? America has always held strong ethnic communities. Why do you think that regional areas have had different immigrants.
Cajuns in LA
Germans in texass
polish in chicago
etc.

sure, you just have to give it time. They will all integrate, it just takes a generation. All it takes is going to a school and there being a hot girl of another ethnicity, and viola, its over.
kids don't care about that shite.
with hispanics its never going to go away b.c we are going to see continual immigration, and thus the cloisters. But I have a dear friend who is half mexican. You wouldn't know it unless you heard her last name. She doesn't speak spanish, and is as white as you can possibly get. Just takes a little interbreeding.
