The melting pot is a myth. It is insane to believe that the immigrants, illegal or otherwise are just going to give up the conditioning they received in their homeland.
I knew a guy that came from Yugoslavia by way of Germany. He’s a US citizen now. Total Leftist. Believes in socialized medicine, progressive income taxes, German-style education.
He votes.
We would be better off had he stayed in Germany.
No, I don’t consider Leftists Americans in any sense other than that is what’s on their passport.
They don’t buy into the creedal or philosophical basis for America. In fact, they’re often actively working to destroy America and all that made it what it was, just like the founder of their anti-human, anti-life belief system intended.
Of course it is. Even the first wave Germans were to the left of the founding stock Scottish Calvinists. And each proceeding wave to the left of that.
