My question was a general one and did not ask anything about race, religion, or whatever. Do we check up on people after they become citizens? The article goes directly to the question of immigrants acceptance of their new countries values and requirements. I should have put in an article about people coming to America and refusing to learn English, but then I'll get hit for being biased against Spanish speakers (which people usually think of in that respect).
You want me to use Orthodox Jews. OK, I'm against some groups only learning Yiddish and no English. This is America and the language used is English. Get with the program. But these are not immigrants so the comparison fails. And yes, I'd post the article on other groups as well with the same question IF the group in question had members who were a threat to this country. (I know, I know, every group has threatening members) The article said some Afghan immigrants had these ideals. If some Bosnian immigrants had these ideals I'd be concerned. My mother used to work as a secretary at a home attendants agency and she would be all upset about Russian immigrants abusing the system and getting onto social security immediately. I'm not sure how true that was but we always hear tales of immigrants abusing the system. I'm sure we check if these tales are true in some regard, but is there a formal mechanism that checks immigrants as immigrants? I expect not but others may know more. As a totally unrelated thing, my brother is married to a Bukhari so I did a search on them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukharan_Jews). I then did a search on my brother and got this - http://www.grusslife.org/files/GrussConnectionSpring04.pdf So Gruss is connected to me through my brother. ;) On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 1:14 PM, Larry Lyons <[email protected]> wrote: > > >Here's an interesting story that links into all of the controversies. > >Immigration, profiling, Muslims, you name it.
