Focusing on the complexities of assimilation, this paper explores the challenges faced by immigrants in the United States, arguing that while immigration itself is not the primary issue, assimilation poses significant concerns. It examines whether ethnic minorities should assimilate into mainstream American culture, weighing the negative connotations associated with the term against the necessity of integration to bridge socioeconomic and cultural divides. The discussion aims to define assimilation clearly and evaluate its potential benefits and drawbacks for both immigrants and American society.
