I am amazed that we get angy with other countries for not securing their boarders, but we won't secure our own? It truly baffles me. but i believe this is the root of the problem.

 

We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an

American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.

roblem. People who come to the united states should be coming here to embrace our way of life and to become americans. I don't consider myself German American because my mother is a german immigrant, nor does she consider herself German. We consider ourselves American because we embrace this country. When they want to be americans I think americans will have less problems with them. If they still want to be mexican citizens and continue to embrace what mexico has become (corrupt and crime ridden) then perhaps they should just live in mexico and take their problems their. When they are ready to become americans there is a process in place already, follow it.

We dont apply the same theories in science from hundreds of years ago. I dont see how social/global views can stay set in stone.
