It was good to see Howard Husock’s post on Friday discussing immigrant assimilation — a much neglected topic, in large part because the Left views this goal as jingoist if not plain racist. But it is essential in our multiethnic nation of immigrants. I proposed a top-ten list almost exactly 24 years ago in this NRO article: Don’t disparage anyone else’s race or ethnicity; respect women; learn to speak English; be polite; don’t break the law; don’t have children out of wedlock; don’t demand anything because of your race, ethnicity, or sex; don’t view working and studying hard as “acting white”; don’t hold historical grudges; and be proud of being an American. And for anyone interested I went into more detail in this congressional testimony.
