My mother in law came to the US legally in her teens from Italy. She worked in sweatshops to be able to send money to her family to come over. She, like your family, completely assimilated & has nothing but love for America. Now, she regrets not teaching her kids Italian ; )
So what happened to that pride in America that earlier immigrants had? Also, they need errr would have dreamed of receiving any gov’t assistance. They have pride & work/ed hard & are living the American dream.
Never
