Breaking up the Enclave

Ethnic enclaves can and should help transition immigrants into the States, but should be limited to ensure immigrants assimilate minimally and to settle into the America they came to. Ethnic groups contribute plenty to foreigners wishing to transition into a new country, and should be supported. These groups help immigrants find jobs, build community, and settle into American society. But, ethnic enclaves are often abused, resulting in negative and obstructive ties with the states. For example, Miami Cuban immigrants formed an exclusive community with all Spanish-speaking occupations and businesses, schools, restaurants, and public services. Many of them manage without English or interacting with American culture. Another example of this is Willet Point triangle, a community which faces tension with the government because they cannot integrate with society. While they speak English, the Willet Point people cannot financially afford to be in society, and live on the outskirts in a junkyard. This social enclave disrupts the advancement of society by dampening the progression for Americans to further building and upkeep of the state. I do not believe they should not be entirely abolished, as ethnic enclaves are important to ease the transition for immigrants. But, enclaves need to be regulated, connected with, and loyal to the country of inhabitant so society advance freely, and not be pulled down by unadjusted immigrant groups.
