Recently, Huntington has focused on assimilation and how certain immigrant groups assimilate differently than others based on certain conditions. For example, Cubans settled primarily in Miami. They established, for many reasons, a society very similar to Cuba itself. Hispanics, Mexicans in particular, are doing this in the West and Southwest. This is not inherently wrong, but the conversation should be had.

Globalization and globalism are not inherently intertwined, but the impacts transnational elites have left on the US is easy to see. It is because of their transnational identities they hold they promote globalism. There are 3 reasons in which they do this. Universalism, moralism, and economic interests are the three categories they fall into.

Huntington focused on how diversity among immigrants enhances assimilation as they have no cultural bloc to cling to as a minority. They are forced to become Americanized. However, Hispanics tend to migrate en masse and without dispersion. This does not promote Americanization but rather Hispanization of their respective regions, namely the Southwest and specifically California.

This book makes very intriguing points on how the current immigration climate differs from past immigration. The ideas, notions, and existence of dual citizenship, remittances, Hispanization, and ampersands are the most notable ways immigration has changed since 1965.
