Nifty Quote
"When a Religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and, when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support [it], so that its Professors are oblig'd to call for help of the Civil Power, it is a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one." --Benjamin Franklin, letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780

Yeah. As recently as my Father-in-law's childhood, there were whole towns in Minnesota where everyone spoke the native language of whatever country most of the people in the town came from.
His grandfather was a businessman who spoke several languages so that he could travel from town-to-town doing business.
My Father-in-law is no big fan of immigrants in general, and says a lot of bad stuff about Mexicans, but he will be the first to tell you that the previous wave of immigrants did not aquire English quickly.
