US Needs to Americanize Immigrants, Fed Task Force Says

[Jacobtm]

Americanizing in terms of speaking english and making enough money to buy decent gifts or marrying americans doesn't mean we end up becoming whitebread like you gringos.

I'm glad for it, it's more fun living multi-culturally.

Given our views on being the majority/winners in a society and how they differ from western views, an anglo-latin US will toss multiculturalism out the window.

Yes I agree, first-generation immigrants never intergrate fully. But we should make a bit more of an effort. I'm also sick of hearing: "you live in California, You need to learn Spanish because that is what California's language will be soon." It reminds me of: "You live in New York? you need to learn Italian because that is what the language will be in fifty years. The Hispanic Kids in our schools today most know English, and about half know Spanish. At my old school, Spanish was a code language to communicate.   

My great-great-grandparents were Italian immigrants, and this is what happened:

Italian Little English-Italian and English-English No Italian-English-English

So by a time stream:

The Hispanic Kids of the 2040's, 2050's, and 2060's will not be taught Spanish by their parents, therefore future generations won't.

immigration will lapse a bit because of the economic crisis in America. So i'd say about 24% of the population in 2050 will be Hispanic, and about 55% of the population will be White. I may be wrong, but that is my thinking.
