I recent this because it's true, but it shouldn't be!!!
We're missing a huge opportunity here. The latin culture is very similar to our conservative culture. They're a God fearing, family centric, hardworking culture. I've worked with many a mexican some who barely spoke english and absolutely loved having them as coworkers. The biggest insult you could give them was to call any of them Lazy. That being said there are aspects of the culture, I believe, should be left behind, such as how the men often speak to women.
The beauty of immigration done the right way is that the best parts of the immigrants culture is added our culture while they assimilate into our culture for the most part. However, like I said that's immigration done the right way.
This country needs immigration. Through the generations we seem to lose the hard working culture that brought our ancestors to this country and we lose the appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy and freedoms our forefathers envisioned. A healthy level of immigration is vital to the future of our country.
The point of this, is we're pushing latinos away, when we should be reaching out and pulling them into our fold.
In full disclosure I'm a USMC Veteran, white country boy, who bartended his way through his engineering undergrad degree.
Note: Just in case it came off any other way, immigrants should speak and read english. The border should be CLOSED!
