That does not mean that immigrants may not become part of the body of a nation. But they do not do so merely by arriving and taking up residence; neither by taking a job nor going on welfare. There is far, far more involved in becoming a part of an existing nation.
It is so far past the time when Americans should have woken up to all of this, that one feels stupefied in trying to understand why (as a group) they have not. Granted, the theorists on the Academic Left have been trying for three generations to promote an internationalism that denies the validity of ethnicity and lines of descent. Granted, corrupt business intersts want an endless supply of cheap labor and new consumers. Granted, most politicians are terrified lest they offend some voting block, and the mainstream American does not like to feel a part of a voting block, and consequently is ever ignored in favor of the minorities being exploited by manipulators and demigogues. Still, what has been happening is so obvious, even the densest among us, should have gotten the message.
Maybe the proposed rally will start that very much overdue awakening.
