Opinion: I can't assimilate into Trump's America. Deport me!
Chicago Tribune ^ | May 14, 2018 | by Rex Huppke

Posted on 05/14/2018 1:37:35 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

I don’t think I have the skills to easily assimilate into Donald Trump’s America. And that can mean only one thing: I should be deported.

It was a difficult conclusion to reach, but after listening to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s recent comments on undocumented immigrants, I see no other path forward.

Maybe I should self-deport. That’s part of the hope, of course, that by making America inhospitable to outsiders, some will just leave.

But I’m not going to do that. You know us unassimilated legal residents. We’re notoriously lazy.

No, the government is going to have to deport me, and to help in that effort, I’ll outline the obstacles to my assimilation into Trump’s version of America.

1) My culture and my Catholic upbringing are incompatible with the the idea that mothers and their children seeking asylum should be separated from each other once they enter the country.

2) I do speak English, but not in a way that’s compatible with the current language used by this administration and its supporters.

3) Lastly, the country I come from taught me to understand history and recognize that things called “facts” are worth considering.

The idea that immigrants don’t learn English, don’t assimilate, don’t contribute, take jobs from American workers, and are more prone to be criminals has been knocked down by study after study after study and is in no way supported by data.

I am unable to overlook these things and embrace the idea that we are being invaded by menacing hordes of disreputable others.

Those three flaws disqualify me from becoming a member of modern American society under President Trump. And that makes me an unassimilated foreigner in America.

So please send me back to my home country.

Truth be told, I miss it terribly.

There's an extremely important element in this essay.

Many Americans have had the America bred out of them because of the government indoctrination centers graduating socialists into a Godless society.

Rex is right ... (in the piece) ... he can't and shouldn't be here.

The English he learned, isn't.

The history he was taught, isn't.

The culture he was told was American, isn't.

Sorry, Huppke, it’s not “Donald Trump’s America”, it’s OUR America and President Trump is doing what’s required to make it great again.

We normal Americans are lovin’ it !!!

Maybe he should try living on the Eastside of Chicago where things are more diverse or bring all of these ideas and try them out in Mexico.

Does your Catholic upbringing cause you to be disturbed by the idea that mothers should have the right to have their children slaughtered just because they happen to be inconvenient, the wrong sex, or imperfect?

Wait until he learns that it isn’t to immigrate to Norway, Canada, New Zealand, or Japan. Even Australia sent us the refugees they refused.

“White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s recent comments on undocumented immigrants”. They are called Illegal immigrants. Article starts off with a false premise.

This guy is a typical liberal Catholic who only admits being Catholic when he can play that card. Apparently he has not been paying attention to his liberal/Marxist buddies. It is not cool to admit being a Catholic or a Christian now-a-days.

All I can say is this - he has been a great disciple of Nancy Pelosi.
