I believe most of the older immigrants felt the same way. They were leaving their native countries for a reason and were determined to make this their new homes and to have fresh start's in life. My area is all Norwegian and when I was young many of these people spoke English with a very thick accent but it was English they spoke. Our Lutheran church would do a second service in Norwegian but that was the extent of their old language. My great grandmother spoke such broken English that you had to be around her awhile to pick up what she was saying but she would not speak her native tongue because she had left that behind. Sadly things were much different then. You could not even stay if you didn't have a job. You came here to be an American, not an Irish American or Norwegian American, but an American. Our hyphenated Americans are what are tearing us apart and causing us to lose our identity. I think the decline of every civilization is preceded by it's internal tearing apart by micro groups. There doesn't seem to be many just plain old Americans left anymore. Perhaps the end is near:)
