OK, so to you, assimilate doesn't require they become Buddhist. You said you objected to "aliens" because they are not assimilating in this country. I'm asking you what would it take to meet your approval for assimilation. I will repeat my question to you because you are deflecting again.@Fogdog
Why should I care if a person goes to church? A person who bases their political beliefs on their spiritual beliefs is very dangerous. Politics should be religion agnostic. Most of these migrant aliens are Catholic and that alone, not their being a foreigner, makes them dangerous. Since Christianity is the fourth most dangerous religion below Scientology, Islam, and Scientism
I only go to church if someone invites me. I mostly chant, meditate, and pray in private. But if I do happen to go, I don't pay much attention and contemplate the current issues.
Buddhism is one of the few religions which separate church and state. With the exception of a few draconian states like Burma which will imprison you for making a Techno version of Buddha wearing headphones. That completely goes against Buddhist teachings which encourage followers to make their own dharma path.
Buddhism contains no dogma that's set in stone and are more of recommendations rather than commandments.
Immigrants in this country pay taxes, marry, have children, work, go to school and support their local economy. Isn't that "assimilate" enough for you? What would it take to satisfy you? Be specific, please.

I always had to wear personal protective equipment at work, and you did to avoid injury.
You're supposed to work safely.
That fucking guy got a disciplinary slip for failure to wear proper PPE. Future incidents of inferior workmanship may result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination.
If I were the Mets I'd send scouts to the border. Sign that young person.
No, I kid in bad taste. I feel bad he got hurt doing his job. But if doing your job is teargassing kids, you may have to deal with the karmic repercussions.

I'm on the fence about Trump's assurance
I could picture Trump saying something like, "it's the best, most beautiful tear gas, no one has tear gas like us"

Government policies, it said, should concern “not cultural but political assimilation,” which the group defined as “embracing the principles of American democracy, identifying with U.S. history, and communicating in English.”
Americanization” brought certain obligations. Many immigrants were not accustomed to living in diverse communities, and accepting American values meant learning to respect people of different racial and cultural backgrounds.
To adopt a position of pure cultural relativism would be to accept some customs or traditions that are antithetical to broadly accepted American values and norms. Forced marriage or genital mutilation are not to be tolerated, while freedom of expression and women’s rights are not to be abridged, regardless of how other cultures or countries view such issues.
The commission emphasized that immigration is a voluntary act, and that those foreigners who choose to become U.S. citizens must necessarily accept certain principles, including the elevation of individual rights over collective rights. “Unlike other countries, including those from which many immigrants come,” the commission said, “rights in the United States are not defined by ethnicity, religion, or membership in any group nor can immigrants be denied rights because they are members of a particular ethnic, religious, or political group.”
Whether such a formulation is inherently European or universal might be debated, but it would seem to put limits on the celebration of diversity per se. To adopt a position of pure cultural relativism would be to accept some customs or traditions that are antithetical to broadly accepted American values and norms. Forced marriage or genital mutilation are not to be tolerated, while freedom of expression and women’s rights are not to be abridged, regardless of how other cultures or countries view such issues.
