Study: 15 percent of Maryland residents were born outside US

WASHINGTON — Four of the 10 most culturally diverse communities are in D.C.’s Maryland suburbs, and as a state, Maryland ranks among the biggest for foreign-born residents, according to a new study.

When ranked among smaller, independent cities, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring and Rockville rank as the top four for cultural diversity, based on things such as ethnic mix, language diversity and residents born outside the U.S., according to WalletHub research. A smaller city was defined as one with fewer than 100,000 people.

When ranked among all cities in the United States, all four make the top 10.

Remember when diversity was celebrated? It isn't here on the shore. You like to keep everything the same as it was 200 years ago huh

Just visit your local WalMart. Look and listen. There are as many foreign languages spoken there as are at the United Nations meetings.

immigrants used to come here as did my grandparents to assimilate ( last names were changed) and to work hard for the American Dream. My grandfather came here from Germany in the 1890s , sold newspapers and put himself through Johns Hopkins and became a doctor. Now immigrants come here and are given welfare refuse to learn our language and insist on elevating their culture and religion above ours.They need to go and we need our borders closed! Thank God for President Trump, he is right extreme vetting is necessary

Some of you are not only heartless but short sighted. The immigration policy as never changed keep the ones that produce and trim the ones that don't. I feel no different about this issue. Get rid of anyone not pulling their own weight starting with people here illegally.
