I expect immigration in earlier decades in the USA differ from modern 
immigration in Europe (and possibly the USA).

Earlier generations in the USA wanted to be Americans, not Irish or 
Germans or whatever living in America. Both my sets of grandparents 
refused to teach their children (my parents) their native languages, as 
they wanted the kids to learn English well so as to better integrate, 
for example.

Nowadays, the Mexican immigrants around here (20 miles north of Mexico) 
  want their kids to learn English, and the prejudiced fools who think 
Mexicans can't learn try to pass laws making it required to teach school 
classes in spanish.
