Exactly right and reason for a number of things including: law of english as the national language, stricter citizenship requirements - including tougher classes and testing for wannabes, and tighter immigration laws and enforcement.

The last thing we need is to become like the balkans and end up in 50 years with the U.N. on a "peace keeping" mission here. It would never end.

Oh and that brings up another thing.... get out of the U.N. and let them move to Switzerland or Argentina or anywhere but on this continent.

The perfect solution would be if the incoming immigrants came here and dissolved into and accepted our culture. This isn't the reality, though. If you accept third world immigrants in large numbers, then society will change to accommodate their culture.

Sad to say, you can see this happening now. English is becoming a secondary language in a lot of areas. We see the attitudes regarding freedom of expression and regard of the rule of law drifting more to the attitudes of banana republics.

This a result of the excessive immigration we have had in the past few years and the politicians trying to pander to their constituency.
