NBC News' Tom Brokaw apologizes for Hispanic 'assimilation' remarks

tombrokaw 👈🏽IS WEAK! Hispanics who immigrate to America must assimilate which includes learning ENGLISH like many of OUR parents did! Otherwise how the hell will they get jobs to support themselves! Nothing RACIST about it! SecretaryCastro BTW you’re no longer “Secretary”!

The pledge of allegiance is to America not some fascist propaganda machine

Gotcha! Bam! Shame on Tom!

So if you encourage young Hispanics not to assimilate they would always be on the outside of the culture and community. Let’s face it.

We still owe the Braceros, at the least, $500,000,000! America is just letting 'die out' to avoid paying the debt we owe. AmericanHonor

What would a guy from South Dakota know about assimilation -- or about Hispanics?

I'm a fair man tombrokaw. Yes, you are RIGHT, American hispanics DO need to work harder to assimilate. But they work a lot harder than you know, maybe you spend too much time in California, and they assimilate AND contribute a lot. Don't just kowtow, learn and teach.

Why is tombrokaw still on TV. Doesn't he have enough $$. Getting old sucks, but it's time to retire, SIR!

Unbelievable! Of course any immigrant should learn and speak english! Common sense! OBTW, my Polish Grandparents were proud that their family were fluent english speaking US citizens! No 'push 2 for Polish'! tombrokaw has nothing to apologize for!

I watched the program where Brokaw made a myopic remark about immigrants learning English. His 'brown baby' comment was describing how racism has infected the immigration debate. Casting blame on him for saying what others believe shows how easily fear and rage can be misplaced.

suicidal country we live in, pointing out the obvious results in an apology

How dare people assimilate! Democrats want you to be poor and reliant on. The state so they get a loyal voter

shameful

Boomers gonna boom

Tom Brokaw really needs to go away

There's no need to apologize-it was the truth & that doesn't require groveling

Brokaw needs to retire. This is not the first batshit crazy thing he has said lately.
