Examples
“Today many of our newcomers are from Mexico and Puerto Rico. We sometimes forget⟳ that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and therefore cannot be considered immigrants. Nonetheless, they often receive⟳ the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews: “They’ll never adjust; they can’t learn⟳ the language; they won’t be absorbed.””
