This article got me thinking what the social,cultural and political outlook of the US will be in about 50 years time ,with it's changing demographics.
Calling the UK the mother country with a special relationship even now is a joke.
I guess considering residents of the UK are not able to even apply for the Green card lottery where someone from Asia/India/Africa can sums up the future.
With international jet travel and Skype are the huge amounts of
"tribal "immigration even going to become Americans ;or just enjoy the privilege of the passport while retaining allegiance to their mother country ,even down the generations.
It's not like in the old days when you got off the boat and you lost contact and became an American,or at least your kids did....these days,like in the UK so many are expected to fly "home" ,marry and bring another section of the family over.
Having said that the USA does assimilate much better having much more experience of mass immigration.
Any doom mongers among you think it'll all fall apart? How many more ethnic lobbies are you going to be dealing with in DC in the next couple of decades?
