Immigration

Today I would like to cover something that has bothering me for years. Our country's growing tolerance of Immigration with assimilation.

Has anyone else noticed that there is a larger contingent of our population who are not assimilating into our culture. They come to this country either legally or illegally and want to participate in the services and wealth this country has to offer but do not want to assimilate into our country like our ancestors did. They do not declare themselves as Americans but as people who have come here to get what they can but do not want to change to adapt to our way of life. Instead, they fully expect you and I to change our culture and our way of life to conform to theirs. I say B.S. This is my country and if you want to come here, then by god you should be required to fully assimilate into our society.

Fully assimilate means that not only do you learn our language, but you also adapt our culture as your own. You do not see Americans going to other countries and expecting them to automatically change their religion to Judea-christianity or to think that they should all speak English so that we are made to feel as if we never left home. When you come to our country, you are saying that you want to have what our country has to offer, and in exchange, you are going to make a contribution to our society with the knowledge and or work ethic that you bring with you.

I have no problem with legal Immigration, I know that this country was founded on Immigration and continues to grow because of it. I just feel we need to get back to the policy of making sure we bring immigrants here who have something to offer to our society. This policy of accepting just anyone is turning our country into a third world. Have you gone outside your little circle lately? Go to the less desirable areas of your town and you will see an entire subculture existing right within our borders. Neighborhoods that are composed entirely of a single nationality and they are not even trying to conform to our way of life. They bring all the old customs of their parent land here with them and then want to live according to those customs rather that adopt ours and assimilate into our culture.

If you are coming into my country, you have a responsibility to learn out culture and language and assimilate into our culture to the best of your ability. I am not saying you cannot speak your language when in your own home or when you are having a gathering that include others of your same nationality. What I am saying is you have no right to expect that we are going to provide you with interpreters at businesses and documents in your native tongue. When you agree to come to this country you are agreeing to our culture and language. I am sick and tired of all the political correct Nazis trying to force us to conform to others. This is America and if you do not want to assimilate into our culture, GO HOME!! We do not need you nor do we want you here. We only want people here who are going to make our society grow and who want to make a better life for themselves and their families. If you are someone who is here because you know you can live on our social services and not contribute to our society. GET OUT!! You are not wanted here!

To all the Immigrants who are here legally and are assimilating into our culture, I say welcome. We welcome you as fellow Americans and as brothers and sisters of our nation. We welcome you diversity and your contributions to our country and we honestly hope that you are able to fulfil you pursuit of happiness that you have earned the right to have by doing things the right way.

To those who are here illegally, there is a storm coming! There is going to come a time when the American people are going to get fed up with supporting your lazy butts and when that time comes, there will be a day of reckoning. When this day comes, the only one you will have to blame is yourself, by not coming in the front door legally, you have opened yourself up to any and all retaliatory events that are being considered even at this time. Do not believe for a moment that you think because of your numbers that you would win the day. When we want, we can be a ferocious people who will protect their beliefs with all we have. If you do not want this to happen to you, go home and come back the right way.

To the politicians I say, we do not need a complete immigration overhaul. We need you to start enforcing the laws that are on the books already. If you do this, our immigration problems will be over. Enforce the laws so that our society does not do what I fear in coming. Enforce our immigration laws so that the average person does not take the law into their own hands. IF you feel this is a far fetched idea, think again. All you have to do is get back in touch with the American people and talk to them. You will find that our citizens have become disenfranchised with our government and it's unwillingness to secure our borders and enforce our immigration policies. Do your jobs or get out and let others in there who will!!

If we continue to allow Immigration without Assimilation, we will soon be in the same boat as France. They have a whole subculture of Muslims who have not assimilated into France and their culture. Now that same sub-culture is threatening France's very existence. They are now becoming to majority people in that country and within just a couple of decades they will control that country. I fear that France is too gone far to recover, do we really want this to happen to America? All we need to do for this to happen is Nothing.

Assimilate or Vacate.

Thanks for reading. Earl

I think I made a good strike at this issue under the New Jersey post.
Now I'm sitting here and thinking, the US was indeed built on immigration. Durring the boom in the late 19th century and early 20th century, the flood gates could barely handle the flow of foriegn people coming into America. Most of them with a desire and a dream to be better than ever before. The American Dream was under their feet and many of them made it come true. For my Italian ancestors and a lot of other people's ancestors it was much harder for them than it is today. The language barrier was present then as well, many legal immigrants could not understand english so they made sure their children were proficient in english so they could translate.
Over time they did learn some but not truly enough to live that "normal" life. The biggest difference between those immigrants of long ago and the illegals we deal with today (and many legals of today), they didn't expect the country to do anything for them, they understood that the deficiency was theirs and theirs alone. They would have to overcome without expectation that signs would also have their language on them, newspapers would have a version in their language, etc. They knew then that this would not be right or good for the country.
Diversity in this country has taken on a new meaning, now it means being completely different in every way shape or form. Back in the late 19th century, it meant bring something different into the mix that would improve, increase or inflate value.
People are building walls of separation and as time goes on, these walls are getting taller and thicker. It hinders the idea of the melting pot which isn't what we are anymore but who said we were ever supposed to stop being that? There are so many divisions in the US now that the country as a whole is in a very precarious position. The phrase goes "United we stand, devided we fall". We are getting closer and closer to that fall.
