I could support this.

My concern is that new immigrants need some homogenization, some introduction into our form of government, our culture and our values.

For the betterment of Mexican immigrants, an emphasis by somebody they will trust, needs to be placed on education. We need cheap labor that immigrants provide. Yet the demands of these unskilled laborers are not without social or real costs. It is changing our culture and not necessarily for the good. The main observation I have about the low skilled Mexican culture is their lack of appreciation for the need for education. If that desire ran throughout their culture, I doubt I'd be as concerned.
