America doesnt have an immigration problem we have an integration problem.
Im a student of History and if you look back at the Roman Empire what allowed it to last 1000 years is when they conquered a people they fully integrated them into Rome and with it all the benefits of the Empire. Art, Literature, Aqueducts, Coliseums, law and order. The newly conquered peoples learned the language and adapted the culture. Ultimately what crippled Rome was the loss of identity and a weakening from within. Where provincial loyalties trumped that of Roman loyalties (that and the Germans wiping out 3 legions in the Black Forest who were led by a former Roman Mercenary).
The reason why I flipped back in time was to give perspective on today. I have no problem with immigrants coming across our border wether they are 15 or 50 but if our culture is to survive they need to adapt our language and ideals.
The great thing about America is it big enough to fit everyone and our ideals are pliable to accommodate different beliefs and values. The problem is the myth of equality. People didnt leave their homes thousands of miles away because they wanted shit to be the same. They left because it sucked and they wanted opportunities for themselves and their children. For America to subsidize people who do not integrate it is building a house divided. The harder immigrants cling to their language and culture the easier it is for their children to be marginalized and stepped on.
Some of the greatest American Patriots I have ever met were Brown, played soccer and spoke English with an accent and the biggest Douche bag anti-Americans I have ever met are affluent white kids who vote Democrat.
One thing that is unique to America is our ability to adapt elements of the different cultures who come here for the delicious taste of freedom pie wether its apple pie, churrios or stroodle. Our freedom to choose what we eat, think or believe is a beacon to the rest of the world that E Pluribus Unum is just as true today as it was 238 years ago.
To be an American has nothing to do with your race, religion or where you are from. To be an American is a mindset that explores and pushes humanity to the next level from the deepest sea to the farthest galaxy. In my opinion Americans are born in every country around the world. Its whether or not they find their way home.
