I’m confused at you using the Amish as an example. They aren’t immigrants. They’ve been here forever and are not immigrating to this country.

Cubans, Mexicans, Haitians, South and Central Americans etc. These are immigrants.

It’s not that we demand they assimilate. Our laws require them to. Remember the bruhaha at the Minnesota airport (I think it was MN) where Muslim cabbies refused to transport people who carried liquor? Perfect example of the cultural clash, but it was resolved, do largely in part to the MUSLIMS already living here who told them they couldn’t do that.

True, they are not immigrants.

However, they have chosen to isolate themselves in the same way as many (but not all) immigrant groups have.
