I really want to see people learn how to spell TO, it isn't the same as TWO. Oh well we can't always get what we want, right. Anyway people are wrong to say that immigrants shouldn't hold on their traditions and cultures to a degree. At least in the U.S. they are wrong. The reason this country is called a melting pot is because the early immigrants blended together. They learned the new culture, but brought in a little bit of their own to ADD to the culture in place. So nothing wrong with taking in both. Look at groups like the Cajuns. They still have their culture, but this country accepts them as one of our own.

There is no "real" answer. But my belief is, if you want to live in America, then act like an American. Salute the flag, vote and speak our language. I don't ask you give your culture up one bit, it is great learning the ways of a new and different culture, however living in American and having freedom came with a price. A price that all who live here should know and acknowledge and be proud of it. Thank a veteran, past, present and the future. They paid the ultimate sacrifice so you could have freedom here in the U.S.

Immigrant should become part of the culture in which they choose to live. This means they should learn the language, abide by the customs of the country and follow its laws.
This does not mean they have to forget where they came from or drop all tradition, holiday's etc. It does mean they have to really become part of their new home.

If they are LEGAL immigrants, they need to become part of the culture-that's what they do at the swearing in ceremony as U.S. Citizens. But it's ok to retain the language and traditions of their cultures in their own homes.

I think the problem comes when immigrants segregate themselves. Some don't even make a serious effort to learn the language. Their young often grow up resenting or hating the country they are living in & in some cases resort to violence & crime which is bound to anger the community who quickly forget their own are not always so angelic.
Ethnic diversity can be beneficial when folks make an effort to integrate & contribute. Let's face it, don't you just love Indian food? Some foreign girls are gorgeous. I married one.
I just think we all need to make more of an effort to know & understand one another & deal with individuals not communities.

Both.!
Of course immigrants should hold their cultures and traditions but they should also embrace the culture they are moving to.

I think this is spot on, but in some places it is harder than others. I have lived abroad a lot and I am very keen on donning native garb and sitting by the campfires of the locals and learning their stories. I am up to my ears at the moment with learning Arabic, with a view to growing old in warmer and less consumer orientated climes. On the other hand, I lived in Texas for a time and found it hard to fit in. My KKK hood just never fitted lol.

I wouldnt say they have to let go of their own culture completely but they shouldnt interfere with ours and become offended by parts of our culture. If they dont like it that much they shouldnt come here.

Immigrants must learn the English language because it is the language of commerce.

Do you expect your brother to do the same as you
or your neighbor??
If you move from your home town do you want to forget it
Why do you care?, just to hate?
You speak English and your maybe a Christian, because your ancestors remembered where they came from, and didn't learn Shawnee
