One can argue with many of the details in Huntington’s article, and some of his statistics lack precision or are questionable. But the fundamental trend he describes is partly true, and therefore partly valid: Mexican immigrants are not being assimilated into the American melting pot the way other ethnic groups have been in the past. Whether that is good or bad for the United States is for Americans to decide; it is certainly not desirable or inevitable for Mexico....
