Assimilate? In central Florida where I live the only assimilation I’m seeing is OURS- we are BEING ASSIMILATED by a foreign culture and language.

In my neighborhood the swimming pool is full of people who play LOUD Latino? Mexican? music all day and late into the night on weekends...and not one of them speaks a word of English. 2 years ago, the pool area had a mixed group- a variety of blacks, whites and latinos. Everyone had fun together..now there is no variety- only those who will not assimilate.

Sometimes it truly does seem as though our president is not living in the same country as the rest of us...

It's that way in my small Georgia city, too. I don't have to vaction in Mexico anymore- just open my window.

And no, they are not assimilating.

Indeed, he is not.
