They aren't blending in but standing out instead. A cohesive culture is what is important to me not race.
They have been assimilating. Here is a study that has been tracking immigrants and shows the rates of assimilation have been keeping up with the past rates or exceeding them. Immigrants to this day are still assimilating. I have a feeling with someone who refers to the US as a "mutt" nation, I'm speaking to someone who won't listen to reason and is likely motivated by race instead of assimilation.

Assimilation doesn't happen overnight...takes a while (at least a generation)...happening now though. Unfortunately, many motivated by race...and they are not providing any constructive ways to continue improving race relations in America. Some here...

Sorry, but that site is a far left liberal leaning one. They want you to believe that crap. They also have a tendency to blur the lines between legal and illegal "immigrants". I go by what I hear and see in public. I already said that race means nothing to me so why would you make that accusation? I said a cohesive society bound by a common culture is what is important to me. Mutt simply means mixed so it's not an inappropriate description of our nation today.

Right we should all listen to you on the assimilation of immigrants in this country because of what you see and hear. Just ignore any studies that have actually tracked immigrants and measured their progress with assimilation as they have spent more time in the US. That sounds like a good plan.

I think things improved somewhat under Obama, but then the backlash appeared when Trump's own bias became apparent.

We can hope that things will improve again once Trump is gone.

We have a white supremacist in the White House who hires other white supremacists. People feel that they have the right to come after Jews, Blacks, Muslims, Hispanics, women etc because of Trump and his dog whistles. In fact, Trump encourages violence among his supporters. I don't think race relations have gotten better, they are just different and bolder since Trump has been in office.

Not so with many of these foreigners that have come here since 1965. I believe it has impacted the job prospects for blacks also.
Of course. But they have brainwashed to believe 30 million illegals here who they are mostly competing with for middle and lower paying jobs is some how good for them. It's not good for them at all.

Eyes and ears don't lie. Slanted/biased statistics do such as from the link you provided.

Well, the Democrats keep giving them handout so to many maybe the loss of jobs don't mean anything.

If Trump is a white supremacist, he's not a very good one as he married half his children off to Jews.
