The problem is most new (illegal) immigrants don't want to meld, be it language or culture-wise. In other words, they don't aspire to become Americans. They want to set up their own culture here, live off of our social programs and all that can be gained from our, we the taxpayers, money.

Earlier, legal immigrants (my ancestors not so long ago) were eager to learn English, become an American citizen and become part of the great melting pot. Sad to say, but from my own personal experience, that is not the case today.

So if they dressed like you, talked like you, listened to the same kind of music as you, liked the same kinds of food as you, etc etc they'd be OK.

But they don't, so they're not?

There are a lot of English speaking people in Kenya. Maybe we should allow free movement of labor between Kenya and the US?

Or allow free movement of labor provided immigrants pass an English competency exam that 50% of Americans could pass?

I don't know if any of that is what you had in mind. I'm just trying to brainstorm some possibilities, letting you tell me what would be OK and wouldn't. That way I can work backwards from failed solutions and try to pinpoint the exact problem.
