These are unfounded assertions based on wishful thinking.

“Valuing it more” is a vague term. Valuing what more? Joining some polity that was created by other peoples’ ancestors who you’re now going to pretend are your ancestors too? Or simply valuing the ability to have full and unrestricted access to economic advantages, that were previously at least partially restricted from you, which you now hope will pay a return on investment?

If legal immigrants really cared about heritage America (which, let’s face it, *has* to be what we’re talking about here, since *it* is what created “America” as it exists in the first place), they wouldn’t consistently vote in large majorities against heritage America’s interests. They wouldn’t vote as ethnic blocs in massive majorities.

Sorry, but your argument is simply based on wishful thinking and nostalgia for an immigration regimen that never *really* ever existed in the first place, but which has been positively refuted by the behaviour of immigrants themselves post-1965.

What are the factors that compel immigrants to consistently vote in large majorities against heritage America’s interests? Importantly, how can these factors be altered so that they can see the obvious benefits in preserving the republic?
