The Editorial Board at NYT is at it again...
I laughed all the way through this tear-streaming editorial (do you, Opinion Writer, really believe your collection of lame talking points; are you getting them from Democratic Underground? or have I accidentally stumbled into The Onion?) but had to choke at the near next-to-last line where you actually used the word 'assimilation'.
Do you think that the intent of any 'immigrant' coming into this country illegally includes a desire for or even the slightest attempt at what you believe is 'assimilation'?
For your edification (google along with me here):
Assimilation: "the state of being assimilated; people of different backgrounds come to see themselves as part of a larger national family."
Clearly, assimilation is not what we are seeing, especially in Arizona, Southern California and in parts of Texas and New Mexico. I suggest you do a bit of research. Google 'La Raza', 'Aztlan', 'MECha'.
And see for yourself 'assimilation'.
These steps are no substitute for immigration reform, the future of which seems pretty murky after Mr. Obama started gingerly backing away this week. But the federal government must react forcefully to the Arizona statute. Is our core belief still the welcome and assimilation of newcomers? Arizona has given one answer. It’s time for Mr. Obama to give the other.(Barack Obama has backed far away from Immigration Reform. Be sure to see the plaintive photo I posted with the #Arizona protester's poster board begging Barack Obama for a 'savior moment'.)
