This just got posted on a board that give encouragement to people who come here on temporary guestworker visas with the ulterior plan to become permanent immigrants (mostly, but not exclusively, from India):

The good mother is one who can love her adopted children as much as she loves her natural children. Any "ordinary" mother can love her natural children more than adopted ones and "most selfish" people choose not to adapt. Now a good mother should also be able to instill values in her children that her adapted child is her natural childs "brother". Also if a white mother adapts a black son, it does not make her a wise or good mother if she asks or insists that her black son change the color of his skin.

The point I am making is, US accept whoever they are accepting as immigrants as they are. If the immigrants want to change their culture it is upto them if not it is still upto them. Dont try to "force" your values or views on others. Thats called a smartass. And you know nobody likes smartasses.
