Television Viewing Habits Shed Light on Immigration Debate
That's the name of this very interesting post by Aaron over at Lifelike Pundits. As we all know, Mexicans and other illegal aliens are dying to assimilate into American culture. Take a look at what they're watching to see just how much.
After all, we're all Americans...

And can any of us say we are surprised by this? With signs in stores written in English and Spanis, with most voice-prompt systems providing a choice for English or Spanish, there is really no incentive for Hispanic immigrants to learn English, is there? They want to recreate their own societies within our own. And I have no problem with them holding onto to their traditions and heritage, but NOT at the expense of those of us born here or those who emigrated legally.

America needs to be reacquainted with the concept of assimilation - our "melting pot" society.

This actually points to the fact that most Latino men don't watch much television, especially during the day, as latino men have an extremely low unemployment rate in this country.
Posted by: Ro at June 18, 2007 03:37 PMso wait, this doesn't answer my questions.
are latinos smarter than a 5th grader?
haha.

Dare to dream! Politicians and common sense - now THERE's an oxymoron.
