Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."
In plain English: s--- is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. He warned us the first day of training: do not even touch water. Human feces carries parasites that bore through your skin and cause organ failure.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better than a third-world country. Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.
***SNIP***
I couldn't wait to get home. So why would I want to bring Africa here? Non-Westerners do not magically become American by arriving on our shores with a visa.
For the rest of my life, I enjoyed the greatest gift of the Peace Corps: I love and treasure America more than ever. I take seriously my responsibility to defend our culture and our country and pass on the American heritage to the next generation.

Even dogs and cats do that.
We had a pizzeria here in town bought then run by Arab Muslims. People used to walk by and see the Muslims washing their feet in the dish washing sinks (within view of the front window) while they were on break. Needless to say, they weren't in business long. After a week or so, nobody ate there.
I hate to think how long it would have been open if the sinks weren't (fortunately) in public view.
You can take people out of the Sh!thole, but you can't take the Sh!thole out of the people...
An online friend of long, uh, acquaintance, told me about a woman he knew who’d gone into the Peace Corps and was sent to S Korea. Agricultural and animal husbandry practices are both different and more primitive than they are here, and she didn’t grow up in the rural US in the first place. First few times she used the outhouse all went well — but then she got “snouted” — the outhouse emptied right out into the hog yard — and she was on a plane home right after that.
