Immigrant Opportunists - a diverse and divided nation is doomed

All nations are doomed eventually. But diverse empires like that of Rome and the Austrian Empire lasted for hundreds of years. Indeed, a perusal of Rome's history showed that it was the infusion of "new blood": at first non Roman Italian blood and later of non Italian emperors that allowed the increasingly depraved Roman empire to flourish two hundred years after it should have fallen.

America has always been diverse. At the time of the revolution, Pennsylvania had so many German immigrants that Franklin considered whether they should make German an official language. And the argument about assimilation was made about non protestant Irish and later about "inferior" races from Italy and Eastern Europe. One third of Hispanics intermarry (Jeb Bush comes to mind) as do one third of Asians. Perhaps the Muslim immigrants won't intermarry at the same rate, (Since I know personally of several Muslim Christian marriages, this might not be true) but I suspect they will become more secularized and integrate just as other religions did.

Now, if you want to complain immigrants are Democrats, you might have an argument. And the more immigrant bashing in "republican" sights you see, the more they will become Democrats...

A country without borders is territory awaiting conquest. It's as simple as that. If borders and limits on entry and exit are so damn worthless, why are we stationing thousands of US troops all over the world from Korea to Kosovo to monitor and safeguard their borders? Pro-illegal immigration morons are just plain full of shit idiots, period. Try their stupid open borders theory out on their personal homes and they'd scream bloody murder and immediately call for the police. Liberals are worse than stupid, they are dangerous because sadly, they are allowed to vote.

Umm...how many immigrants brought down the World Trade Center?

They weren't immigrants. They were here illegally in most cases. We don't even know the real names of some of them.

I bet yer gay.

"The United States is a great and diverse nation and that diversity gives it strength"

Although the rest of this article is interesting, this part is scary because it perpetuates the liberal myth the diversity is somehow good. Diversity not good, diversity bad. At least when it comes to American principles. When a sub-population opposes America, like many Arabs do, then this "diversity" is bad. When a sub-population plans on keeping its own language and culture and even citizenship but only wants to take our jobs and use our welfare, school and health-care system, like many Mexicans do, this "diversity" is bad.

We must oppose this idiotic idea about diversity in and of itself being good. When we speak of principles like liberty and responsiblity, any opinion to the contrary is bad.
