The more traditional term is 'assimilation', that is obliging immigrants to Americanize themselves, and abandon alien traditions. You have a problem with that?

Huh? How did you come to that conclusion. My point was that why is it government's responsibility to "help" them assimilate? Also, note they don't use the word "assimilate".

"Government... must do more to foster" is the term they use. It means spending tax dollars. I am not for it.

I agree. My great great grandparents came here speaking barely a word of english. There were no classes for them to attend on becoming American. They became American by working to buy a home and make a living. My grandparents assimilated through immersion without taxpayer help.
