Once we decided that America was a “proposition” nation which could be multicultural and still be “America”, we were doomed. America was an extension of European civilization. Our Founders took ideas of liberty, rights, and the rule of law that had been germinating in England for a long time, and because of our geographic isolation from the crown, put them into effect. The idea that our nation can fill up with people from alien cultures to the point that they are the majority, and America will continue as the great experiment in liberty that it was, is a fatal error.
A small number of people from other cultures adds some spice to society and they can be assimilated. Mass immigration from alien lands not only cannot be assimilated, but will eventually subvert the founding culture.
As things stand though, they don't. We have all sorts of people who are anti-American, believen in group rights over individual rights, want socialism, censorship, and radical transformation of the society they are joining. This is summed up by their motto: "si, se puede".
Yes, we can transform your society into 'our' society. You know FUBU world, La Raza!
Given the level of 3rd world immigration already a a accomplished fact we better pray that the proposition nation idea does work! Elsewise everyone needs to buy another copy of Chittum's book.
