I hate to see how race (as percentage of population) gets mentioned under the topic of immigration, as if the two are inextricably linked or represent our general anger.  I live in New England where (IMO) race tends to matter little, however <i>culture</i> still matters a great deal.<p>In fact, I&#x27;d say that we have a major cultural battle going on in the US.  The media has seen fit to assign cultures to races, but that&#x27;s just for convenience at great cost to the rest of us.<p>Even worse, I fear that many of the cultures at war want the exact same thing, but don&#x27;t agree how to achieve it.  In any event, the media is doing a fine job of radicalizing people based on race and income, neither of which represent cultural beliefs.<p>For example, I think we need to teach everyone how to speak English properly and you may think that&#x27;s aimed at Hispanics.  But it&#x27;s not.  It&#x27;s aimed at people who speak gangster, girls and boys who can stop saying &quot;like&quot; every other word, and yes, all manner of other people who can&#x27;t speak proper English.<p>Just like the Internet has common communication protocols, so must citizens for our nation to succeed.  We all want our nation to be healthy, which is our common cause, and this is one thing I think would help.<p>When framed in this way, it&#x27;s not about &quot;those Mexican immigrants speaking Spanish&quot; it&#x27;s about everyone who can&#x27;t participate in our economy because they&#x27;re communication skills are lacking.
