    • Abstract:
      The article looks at immigrants in the U.S. in the context of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing in Massachusetts allegedly perpetrated by two young-adult immigrants. The author expresses the view that Americanization, or the processes of assimilation under which earlier generations of immigrants were successfully melded into American society, no longer function well. Topics include immigration reform proposals, Hispanic immigrants, and naturalization.
