More generally, Americans view immigrants as being welcome to combine their culture of origin with their new American-ness, while immigrants see no conflict between their ethnicity and religion and their embrace of America. And, most significantly when it comes to assessing the ease of integration over time, they fully expect their kids to be completely, unhesitantly “American” – a promise that, by and large, is readily fulfilled.
在广义而言，美国人对移民的看法就是欢迎他们把原始国家的文化同美国化结合起来，而移民本身并不认为自己的种族和宗教与接纳美国观点有什么矛盾。而且最为重要的是，当他们估计长久的融合问题的时候，他们完全想要让自己的孩子全部、毫无迟疑地成为“美国人”。从总体上而言，这一许诺已经实现了。
