Which group is the author primarily addressing in this paragraph? There is the Calvinist undercurrent in the American psyche that loves the difficult, the

demanding, that sees mastering the impossible, whether it be prairie or subway, as a test

of character, and so glories in the struggle of this fractured coalescing. And there is a

grudging fairness among the citizens of the United States that eventually leads most to

admit that, no matter what the English-only advocates try to suggest, the new immigrants

are not so different from our own parents or grandparents. Leonel Castillo, former

director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and himself the grandson of

Mexican immigrants, once told the writer Studs Terkel proudly, "The old neighborhood

Ma-Pa stores are still around. They are not Italian or Jewish or Eastern European any

more. Ma and Pa are now Korean, Vietnamese, Iraqi, Jordanian, Latin American. They

live in the store. They work seven days a week. Their kids are doing well in school.

They're making it. Sound familiar?"
