If you want DATA, as opposed to anecdotes, I would supply this study printed by the Manhattan Institute:
http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_53.htm
which found:
" * Newly arrived immigrants of the early 21st century have assimilation index values lower than the newly arrived immigrants of the early 20th century. Growth in the immigrant population usually lowers the assimilation index because newly arrived immigrants drag down the average for the group as a whole. This phenomenon can be seen between 1900 and 1920 and again in the 1980s. The stability of the assimilation index since 1990 is therefore remarkable in light of the rapid growth of the immigrant population, which doubled between 1990 and 2006."

Manhattan Institute Study, cont:
"* Immigrants of the past quarter-century have assimilated more rapidly than their counterparts of a century ago, even though they are more distinct from the native population upon arrival. The increase in the rate of assimilation among recently arrived immigrants explains why the overall index has remained stable, even though the immigrant population has grown rapidly.
* Yet the current level of assimilation remains lower than it was at any point during the early 20th century wave of immigration."
