The "Melting Pot" theory of socialization to America's unique way of life implies that all who would come here to live will adapt, over time, to the American way of life.
Through the years, people of the world's various cultural and ethnic groups have brought many positive ideas and values and have contributed much to the mosaic of America. That is all to the good.
Having said that, these same peoples from the world's various cultural and ethnic groups have also brought with them ideas and values which have not improved our society one whit.
Now, I am not going to get into a debate with you about which are the "good" or the "bad" ideas and values. Suffice it to say that they exist, and to the degree that foreign culture has debased America, or caused politicians to pander to certain ethnic groups in search of more power, we are all worse off.
Americans have always welcomed immigrants who want to exercise the FReedoms that God gave us and that our Constitution reaffirms.
As we begin to wake up to the danger of those persons who move here to subvert our Constitution, we Americans are becoming more and more loathe to welcome them with open arms.
We Americans certainly do not have any obligation to pander to and accommodate the demands foreigners make to "re-order our society" to meet their pecululiar habits, needs and values. And we are fully within our right as a self-governing nation to run them out!
This is the message to all foreigners who would move to America: If you move here and don't like it, LEAVE!
You do not have the right to force me to accommodate your particular cultural idiosyncrasy!
And you don't have the right to evict people because you don't approve of the way they conduct their day-to-day affairs.
The "melting pot" that you erroneously describe, has always meant that as each and everyone of the many waves of immigrants, from every corner of the world arrived in the US, they added their own "ingredient" to the stew of American culture.
With the passing of time, these immigrants have "melted" into a society, that while remaining strong, was augumented with the remmants of their culture, and traditions.
That's why we celebrate St. Patrick's day, Columbus Day, Chinese New Year, Oktoberfest, and even Bastille Day.
That's why American cousine includes spaghetti, fried rice, fajitas, hot dogs with sauerkraut, and even black beans and rice.
Now, you talk about the people who move here to "subvert" our Constitution, but you provide no examples of any subverting of the Constitution. Instead, you wander off into vague, unsubstantiated, and even contradictory mumblings about politicians pandering (when have they not pandered?), and people coming here to "re-order our society".
Well, you yourself just admitted that this is what immmigrants have always done!
"Through the years, people of the world's various cultural and ethnic groups have brought many positive ideas and values and have contributed much to the mosaic of America. That is all to the good."
And no, this nation does not have the "right", under the current law of the land, to run anyone out, who obeys the laws, renounces allegiance to any foreign government or nation, and stands willing to defend this country when needed.
Your particular sentiments about what language legal immigrants speak (when communicating with one another that is, interaction with government at any level should always be conducted in the language deemed to be the common language of the nation), what religion they practice, what cultural observances they maintain, or what political ideology they support, have no bearings on their right to be here, as all these things are guaranteed to all people legally residing anyplace where the recognized law of the land is the US Constitution.
Once people have legally migrated here, and become citizens, they have every right that any American has. INCLUDING the right to bitch about the government, and the current state of affairs.
When The Founders said that all men were created equal, and that they all had the inalienable rights to life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, they didn't qualify that with a statement indicating that these rights were subject to approval by their next-door neighbor.
Sometimes, to love America, is to exercise the gifts she so generously gives us.
Freedom, it's a scary thing because everyone gets theirs.
