You're right, I didn't want to go there but I have to agree.

The problem is that the government does nothing to incentivise assimilation... the opposite is what actually takes place.

Stay backward, illiterate, dependent, anti-American and you WILL be rewarded!!!

Absolutely, could not have said it better.

The problem is the numbers. It weighs against assimilation. Moreover, our false narrative that diversity and multiculturalism are strengths encourages people to hang on to their cultural and linguistic differences.

And then there are programs like affirmative action that reinforce those differences because they offer benefits to identifying as a minority and victim. 87% of the 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants who enter annually are minorities as defined by the USG. They become entitled to such benefits as minority business set asides and affiramtive action in job consideration, entrance into college, etc.

Finally, 57% of all immigrant headed households with children are on at least one major welfare program. Milton Friedman said that, “You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.” We have both.

In a nutshell!!! Ignorant citizens have always been easier to manipulate.
