Immigration and assimiliation

http://www.nysun.com/news/assimilation-factor

It turns out there is plenty of assimilation going on. Cubans and Vietnamese, for instance, are economically indistinguishable from natives. Germans are indistinguishable both culturally and economically. Some cities are doing better than others at assimilating newcomers. Houston, where Mexican and Central Americans predominate, has an assimilation index of just 19. New York, where no one group predominates, has a score of 31.

There's some bad news, too, but this much is good.

Be witty if you can,
But be cheerful if it kills you.
