I just want to say, on behalf of the torta i ate for lunch, that i am very thankful that some don't assimilate right away.
Also, on the subject of laws, i don't think that all laws are created equal, and i don't think every law is automatically just, or that all laws ought to be followed.
I just got an apartment in minneapolis' mexican enclave. I don't want to speculate as to the legal statuses of my neighbors, but they generally seem like nice folk who generally aren't prone to crime or much vice. There are plenty of businesses in my neighborhood where you would probably need to know spanish to interact effectively with the employees, but damn can you get some great food.
