Immigrants do assimilate, but not overnight

Tagged: , , ,

“I have no problem pressing 1 for English or 2 for espa�ol. I am a fortunate son of a Cuban exile, fluent in both languages.

I lapse back to my native tongue because of convenience, whether it’s ordering food at a Spanish restaurant or odd times that it comes in handy, like when our flag-football team wants to switch defenses before the snap of the ball. We have enough Spanish-speaking guys to roll from zone to man without the other team catching on to our strategy. Muy bueno, my friend.

The hope is that no one sees any of this as another example of a hostile takeover of the United States.”*
