When my family came here generations ago, the authorities misspelled/changed our family name and no one really cared b/c the goal was to become American. Everyone who was able (the oldest people in the family struggled) learned English. The 1st generation born here didn't even have an accent. This doesn't seem to be what's happening today. It's more salad than melting pot. The people who came here legally with the intent to assimilate and be American are not impressed by the latest wave of illegals looking for quick money and/or victims.

Yes, substituting the salad bowl for the melting pot was a demonically clever way to undermine our culture.
