Immigration and Assimilation in America, Talk of the Nation, May 24, 2006

For some, the immigration debate is framed by economics, for others, it’s about fitting in. But what does “fitting in” really mean? Guests: Linda Chavez, chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity; director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in the Reagan administration Bill Hing, professor of law and Asian-American Studies, University of California-Davis; Author of To Be an American: Cultural Pluralism and the Rhetoric of Assimilation   Click here to listen. 

Interestingly, Hing and Chavez agree on a lot.
