Americans Say 'Melting Pot' Policies Once Made U.S. Stronger, But No More

I believe Khrushchev said "We will destroy you from within", I'm afraid that the way things are going, he might just be right.

There is nothing undesirable about encouraging immigration on the part of hard working,law-abiding, well educated, productive people of whatever race or national origin.
Is there?
On the other hand, folks not meeting those criteria are more problematic. That is one argument for patrolling the borders.

We used to have a "melting Pot" where immigrants assimilated to our way of life, learned English, gave up their former citizenship, worked hard and obeyed our laws. Now, we have a "Mosaic"..a fractured immigration system where people sneak into this country, demand welfare, housing, medical care, refuse to learn English, commit crimes (20,000 Americans killed by illegals every year). They take our jobs and hurl insults about country, they fly their flag and demand that we adhere to their way of life, customs and traditions. If we keep allowing these people to break our laws, we will lose everything that people want to come here for. WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS PUSHING FOR AMNESTY FOR ONE REASON ONLY...TO GET MORE VOTES SO THEY CAN STAY IN POWER..AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICANS.

If every argument against illegal immigration didn't seem so tinged with racist tone, much could get accomplished. People don't want to work with you when you seem hate filled.

Oops, shame on us for having allowed the greedy-with-all-the-tax-breaks for engaging in various degrees of indentured servitude for profit's sake. Got your money, sent your jobs away, filed bankruptcy and left you with the tab. Keep the faith.

A word to the wise the roman empire fell through many different occurances..immigration was one.

It wasn't Anglo-Saxons, Africans, Asians or Arabs who made Mexico what it is today...it was MEXICANS.
Now these illegals(with the help of both dems and repubs..who don't want to lose those all important 'Latino votes") are PROTESTING in OUR streets...because we want them to be prosecuted. They don't want to be Americans...Americans get prosecuted for breaking our laws...they just want to be here to suck-up benifits and hand-outs. Do you think "viva la raza" translates into I love America????
GET RID OF THE POLITICIANS THAT PANDER TO LAW_BREAKERS that ain't their duty.

I don't think the native americans got a fair shake in the process? To them, nearly all of us are invaders

Calling an illegal parasite an undocumented worker is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist. A fairly famous Dem once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". What a difference now. Now it's a complete 180 and it's all simply, "Gimme, gimme, gimme". This puppy is being bled dry and it's time to stop it. It's what we can do for our country.

This country was made strong with certain kinds of immigrants- not just any old immigrant.
