Those that wish to be integrated do so and those that don't, don't. Chinatown, little (whatever country of ethnic group-you fill in the country or ethnicity of choice), Russian mafia is not integrated, Chinese Tongs are not integrated, gangs of ethnic youth are a fertile ground for manipulation by non-integrated hostiles, etc, etc. No, integration is no longer a fact, it is a wish and until you have folks that stand up and place their hand over their heart when the colors pass, until you get rid of all those who would teach English as a second language rather than the primary language, until you take down the bi-linqual road signs, issue instruction manuals only in English, and have a huge banner attached to Lady Liberty's upraised arm that says English Only is Spoken here, then intergration will be a pipe dream. I have said this before and I will say it again, this nation is supposed to be a melting pot and not a friggin' stew. You want to immigrate here, then embrace our values or stay the hell home and fight to embrace the values you want in your country. If you do not have the guts to fight for what you believe in then you are not welcome to come here and set up your own new world to practice your old world beliefs at the expense of those who willing embrace our values. Cowards are not welcome!
