Personally I don't like the idea that America turns everybody who comes in American - it just doesn't mesh with me. A country needs diversity, and America tries to hide theirs. Sure, they have diversity, but they want everybody to be American and hide the fact that they are different. Even though I disagree - and I think it would be nice to have some other-languaged schools around here - that isn't the way America works, is it? Even if I don't like it, it isn't right for them to be coddled by America, when they are supposed to be AMERICAN now that they moved there.

I like the way Canada is. We take in people from all over and we don't want them to change their ways, change their religion, change their name, change everything about them. We want people to retain their culture, and thus give Canada diversity. But would the same system work in America? I don't know, but it certainly doesn't work "selectively" - where a few people, like the ones you described, are given these privileges in one area and others aren't given it at all.

Should they, morally, get to be individuals? Yes. But by America's rules, they should just be American. Not spanish, not different, not weird. America works when everybody has the same common ground, and if one doesn't have it, thery must adopt it to avoid falling behind or slipping through the cracks.

It's a whole lot EASIER that way. I can see why they do it. And for a few people to think they can move into the country and not follow the same rules as other immigrants is wrong.
