...Patriots In Our Midst," Michael Elliott contested Harvard professor Samuel Huntington's view that Mexican Americans are not interested in assimilating into U.S. society [April 12]. I reject Huntington's unfounded fears about immigration in general and Mexican Americans in particular, whether they are new immigrants or those of us whose roots reach centuries deep into U.S. history. Perhaps Huntington should venture outside academia's cocoon and learn to appreciate the patriotism and contributions made to America by those who are not Anglo-Protestant.

As Huntington indicates, a seminal public debate of our time is the confrontation between traditional notions of Americanism and the dogmatic multiculturalism that exists in so many of our schools and public institutions...
However, if assimilation is not taking place at a fast enough rate, then prudence and principle alike dictate a more restrictionist policy. As Huntington convincingly shows, that is the situation we face today vis-à-vis Mexican immigration. He quotes former National Intelligence Council Vice Chairman Graham Fuller, who says of the Mexican-dominated regions of the American Southwest, “We may be building toward the one thing that will choke the melting pot, an ethnic area and grouping so concentrated that it will not wish, or need, to undergo assimilation into the mainstream of American multi...
