Funny, millions of immigrant families (legal) have successfully assimilated w/o the need for government intervention, including mine. Here's a hint, English by immersion, no bilingual classes, turn off the damn Univsion and Telemundo. If you must watch TV, do it in English, same goes for the radio. Don't live in "immigrant" enclaves......that's definitely a hindrance to assimilation and its been proven. Mix with your neighbors, keep a clean home, look at the nice neighborhoods and be a nice, respectful neighbor. When in Rome, do as the Romans. Otherwise, you'll be treated like an invader.
