"The list could go on and on."

Please do. Let's see how low in stereotyping you're willing to go.

One of the problems you are overlooking is that the entire world would like to come to the US. Everyone wants to be a US citizen and I don't blame them. Who gets to decide who can come and who doesn't? Shouldn't it be done legally instead of illegally.

Aside from that, our forefathers actually aspired to the "melting pot" concept. That was in essence when you moved from one country to another you adopted or "melted in" to the new country you adopted. You learned the language, the customs and literally became an American. You did not give up your old heritage, no one asks that, but you did become an American now that you have moved to a new country.

All that seems to have changed with the new feel good society we live in inspired by the social democrats.
