People bring up the fact that previous waves of immigrants: the British, the Germans, the Irish, and the Polish, all eventually assimilated. However there's a difference between then and now: We now have immigration laws.
They can't assimilate if they're illegal. And having a mass of illegal immigrants from one ethnic group makes the legal ones think that they don't have to bother assimilating either. Therefore we have to get rid of the illegals if we want Latino immigrants to assimilate.
