Simply look at the hypocrisy involved from less than a hundred years ago. We used to revel in our cultural difference and this land was a melting pot. Now it's all about "this land is OURS...get the **** out unless you are invited you FOREIGNER! I don't give a **** what we did to those who were here before us, it's ours now and we make the rules!"
Brutal, but the reality of the situation. I don't agree with it. |
let us not forget that we let in TWO MILLION LEGAL IMMIGRANTS a year into this country. MORE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED. That's about all that we can reasonably assimilate in a year. Doesn't that still make us a melting pot? These immigrants WERE qualified and WERE invited into this country though.
I'm curious. What countries of the world don't have a policy of "this land is ours, get the **** out unless you were invited"? Can you name even one?
