"A problem I have tried to argue is that in immigrations of the past, the established culture and wealth and knowledge was not of such great disparity as it seems to me is happening today - so that training and acclimation will take longer than immigrations of the past." Great point though I wonder how this all shakes out in this internet age. South Florida is a test market for this stuff. All we have to do is see if the school age kids in neighborhoods of mostly Spanish speaking are integrating themselves more into American society. I do have a daughter of a cousin who married a girl from Ecuador that is about 11 and lived much of her life split between South America and the US in Florida/NYC and is now here. She seems to be more into being an American these days than her foreign born spanish speaking first mother would like. I mean with all the toys,gadgets, the internet, movies and Hillary Duff who wouldn't<g>
