ASSIMILATION NATION. Tyler Cowen and Daniel Rothschild have an op-ed in the Post on Latino immigrant assimilation making the point that “Latino immigrants, like generations of immigrants before, are entering the mainstream of life in the United States. Ours is the best country in the world at assimilating immigrants. This should be a badge of honor, and one that we wear proudly.” It’s nothing we haven’t hashed out previously on TAPPED, but give it a read if you’re interested in the topic.
