Opinion: I can't assimilate into Trump's America. Deport me!
Chicago Tribune ^ | May 14, 2018 | by Rex Huppke

I don’t think I have the skills to easily assimilate into Donald Trump’s America. And that can mean only one thing: I should be deported.

It was a difficult conclusion to reach, but after listening to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s recent comments on undocumented immigrants, I see no other path forward.

Maybe I should self-deport. That’s part of the hope, of course, that by making America inhospitable to outsiders, some will just leave.

But I’m not going to do that. You know us unassimilated legal residents. We’re notoriously lazy.

No, the government is going to have to deport me, and to help in that effort, I’ll outline the obstacles to my assimilation into Trump’s version of America.

1) My culture and my Catholic upbringing are incompatible with the the idea that mothers and their children seeking asylum should be separated from each other once they enter the country.

2) I do speak English, but not in a way that’s compatible with the current language used by this administration and its supporters.

3) Lastly, the country I come from taught me to understand history and recognize that things called “facts” are worth considering.

The idea that immigrants don’t learn English, don’t assimilate, don’t contribute, take jobs from American workers, and are more prone to be criminals has been knocked down by study after study after study and is in no way supported by data.

I am unable to overlook these things and embrace the idea that we are being invaded by menacing hordes of disreputable others.

Those three flaws disqualify me from becoming a member of modern American society under President Trump. And that makes me an unassimilated foreigner in America.

So please send me back to my home country.

Truth be told, I miss it terribly.

Liberal like to use the “study after study has proven” excuse when those studies are performed by people who have a preferred outcome and skew the data to make the preferred outcome look more probable. In the statistics world, this is call GIGO - Garbage in, garbage out.

Do not believe these people who use these studies. Illegal immigrants, as their first act, broke the law by entering this country illegally and then take jobs which US citizens can and should get to do but can not, because illegal immigrants are doing them! Not to mention, many companies are paying many of these illegal immigrants under the table and also breaking the law but not following the tax code!

Rex is another horrible liberal who is ruining this country for all of us.

All these ‘immigrants’ chatter away to one another in their families in their foreign languages , esp the Indians .

Actually, there are a couple of Indians at work who speak to each other in English. I have never heard them converse in their native language. We do have a rule at work, English on!y.

If only those who threatened to leave after DJT’s victory would simply keep their promise.

This is one of the many reasons lefties have worked so hard over the years to deliberately confuse illegal immigration with legal immigration. Then they can claim people that are concerned about illegal immigration are against immigrants and are simply racist. When there are studies and data involved the lefties really want the issues cloudy because studies done on illegals show they are more prone to being criminals, they do take jobs from Americans, and they are far less likely to assimilate. Only by using studies that include the illegals with legal immigrants can they water down the real truth about illegals.

The biggest problem with this “article” (atrocity) is that he claims it’s study after study that knock down the truth, when he is cherry picking his sources from the most dramatically left-wing anti-American bought and paid for studies ever.

I think the claim is that illegals are more likely (92% more) to commit crimes than immigrants who come here legally, and that IS verifiable.
