I do find it interesting that there are several ethnic grocery stores within one mile of my suburban home, including those run by Hindus, Jews, Muslims, and Mexicans. I sort of love that. I talked to someone who was very active politically who lived in a town which was slowly being absorbed by my suburb. He was all about diversity and angry that the town he had chosen to live in had so little diversity. I shared my experience and he was surprised. My granddaughter goes to school and has friends from various backgrounds and all seem to get along. I’m not saying that this is anything that the dad burned gummint should be involved in, just reporting from my heart of America suburb.
The great American melting pot is a wonderful idea provided that immigrants remember that they are Americans first. Americans who know and support the constitution. Americans who will obey the laws of their new country. Americans who will learn to be proficient in its language... English, and Americans who will be productive members of society who will contribute to the greater good rather than expecting hand outs.
Yeah, I had a friend who was raising her kids with a lot of diversity and they started acting ghetto and “gangy” and so she moved them to a white enclave and they became preppy and perfectly behaved and well adjusted. Go figure.
