This could be viewed as disenfranchising citizens through the dilution of their votes.

It is frightening that this is being openly discussed apparently without fear of consequences by politicians. We are beyond hope; gather your tribe/clan near, and be prepared.

What in the world does this have to do with Newt? Your not helping your cause, whatever it is, at all.

Not entirely true. German speaking ghettos lasted in the US until WWI, and the Irish weren't exactly yankee doodle dandies themselves. Ethnic and racial, to say nothing of religious tension was far worse 160 years ago.

The idea that people came to America to "become Americans" is 20th century revisionism. Even with a long boat ride, the assimilation process was slow, and took at least three generations even for northern European immigrants.
