of their new "home?" With faxes, computers, cell phones, international next day shipping, etc., etc. all allowing simple communication with friends and family back in their original country is there now any reason to "assimilate" into American culture like immigrants traditionally did? Does all this technology make it very simple and comfortable for modern immigrants to isolate themselves from American society and maintain connections with their traditional heritage, whereas immigrants from previous generations were totally disconnected from their homelands and had little choice but to join mainstream American society to survive and prosper? Just throwing out a theory and wondering what people think.
