Question

Some reasons why immigrants come to the U.S. but then never assimilate into the American culture?

Answer 1

simply, because we let them.

Answer 2

Usually, it is the illegals.  They don't because they do not feel like they have to.  They want us to fit into their life styles.

Ridiculous.

Answer 3

I live in Mexico, perhaps the most rascist country in the world. Here it works this way

Upper Class: Mostly of Whites, rich, very rich

Middle Class: Almost doesnt exist, could middle upper class

Lower Class: 90% of the people, who the other classes treat them worse than Americans if they emigrate. We treat them so bad, but here in the country most people dont care about being mexican, but out of the country there pride of being mexican. maybe thats why. I think we are the principal cause of inmigration. But now Mexico is sunked into criminals, assasins, kidnappers, so many whites upper class or middle upper are trying to emigrate to Argentina, USA, Canada, France, Spain or Italy...

I consider myself one of those

Answer 4

Most assimilate quite well if you ask me.  With the exception of language barriers, they tend to find ways to make a better living here than in their home countries because they understand the opportunities that surround that most Americans do not understand and take advantage of.  Furthermore, has anyone ever wondered whether or not assimilating too deep into American culture is actually a good thing?  Trust me, there are certain aspects of American culture that is not appealing and to some extent, rather shameful.

Answer 5

What american culture? You only have culture because its the culture that the immigrants bring along.

Answer 6

Because they want to suck all the resources this country has to offer dry, but they do not want to actually be a part of the country.

Answer 7

you cant force people into your culture, they can mix them, but not forget what they were taught since they were born.

what do you want the immigrants to learn???

McDonald's 4 times a week???

Answer 8

TELEVISION is to blame. Their (other language)Spanish TV tells them that the US way of life is SO BAD compared to how they live. Naturally, they say that to make people feel better about who they are. Brainwash them! The irony is that these media giants are American owned!  

Answer 9

they come here for economic opportunity or socio-political asylum but want to maintain their culture

just because they flock here it doesnt mean they really like our culture to want to become part of it

Answer 10

Because they don't want to be Americans, they want to take from the U.S. and destroy it.

Answer 11

In the case of illegal immigrants, there are many blocks put up that prevent full assimilation.  (Why do you think some never learn English?)  Other times, in the case of some legal immigrants, their community that supports their culture is so vast that no reason exists for them to assimilate.  

Answer 12

Probably because they are ignorant to our values even though they are in our country, and the main reason they immigrate is because they were not happy with there country.

Answer 13

I believe it is because there is a huge amount of propaganda.. and the democratic Senators for Mass, and House Speaker Pelosi are among the first to believe it.. that Americans are racist pigs.  They believe it.. and no one.. not one soul I have seen, has actively asked for links to the slander.  Of course, they don't have links, nor can support that, but they just keep on going.

It winds up they don't assimilate because they believe European Americans talk about them in the same manner they talk about us.  Little do they know.

Answer 14

they seem to be assimilating just fine. have you seen the children of immigrants? they are just as unruly and lack prudence and are just as spoiled as americans. how bout that. you should read up on other cultures. and decide if you were forced to move to that country how you would assimilate and why or why not.

Answer 15

Because they want your money, besides most of them don't even pay taxes.

They come to take and not to give to the US.

Besides Spanish is all over the place.. its the govs and economies fault.
