Jerry, have you heard of this particular 'type' of immigrant to the USA?
The description is as follows:

*Part of an international network that deals in arms, smuggling and crime in general.

*Have been responsible for a massacre in the USA.

*Extremely close-knit organisation, don't welcome outsiders.

*All share the same 'branch' of a particular religion.

*Primarily associated with violence.

*Speak their own language when they are together.

*Often have ethnic restaurants.

I would suggest that the mafia have killed more US citizens in the USA than any Muslim 'group' or individual.

Yes, you don't see many Swiss-Americans wearing lederhosen and a hat with feathers.

But there are many women in the USA that wear head scarves for religious reasons, their husbands have beards for religious reasons.
They don't assimilate with the 'normal American' way of life, and actively avoid it.
And their particular faith comes from Switzerland....

Times change Steve.
True story, my wife's grandmother never learned English. Spoke only Spanish.
When my wife's, mother, had kids, she, being 100% Spanish/Mexican ( btw, spainsh thought they were better than Mexicans.... Go figger)
Anyway, she put Caucasian as race on all the birth certificate and would NOT teach them Spanish.
She now admits that was wrong, like duh, but she said you were expected, as in norm, to abandon your heritage, or face a stigma leveled on you, she didn't want to saddle her children with this burden....

Is that assimilate Jerry?

I say, wrong!
I think that is so hedonistic its spooky....
