America - Nation of Immigrants

[Unkotare]

For crying out loud. yes we are Nation of Immigrants. the problem today is they aren't asked TO ASSIMILATE to our country. We aren't UNITED anymore. just call us the DIVIDED states of America. you see that with them carrying their country of origins flag and waving it in our face as to say. Screw you, we are here to take over and didn't even have to fire a shot.

Nonsense. Americans have waved the flags of their family's heritage since the beginning. I saw two Italian flag bumper stickers and five Irish just on my drive to work this morning. A day doesn't go by when there isn't a parade, festival, celebration, or commemoration somewhere of one of the scores of ethnicities that make up this great nation. Relax.

We are, have always been, and will always be a nation of immigrants. It is one of the defining characteristics of the greatest nation the world has ever known.

The Contributions of Immigrants to American Culture

"The standard account of American immigration focuses on the acculturation and assimilation of immigrants and their children to American society.

(X)Well, if new immigrants want to become American than they should become American, and assimilate themselves into American culture and tradition and not try to hang on to their past life from whence they came. America speaks English, and has Christian values and beliefs, and is a Caucasian country. They should accept that or leave. Take Latinos for instance. They now have their own TV/radio,newspapers,community centers. Why assimilate when one doesn't have too anymore. They can get along fine without learning English because the government pretty much services them in their own language. When the races are mixed, that is a recipe for disaster down the road. But those pro-multiculturalists white lieberals would prefer to assimilate into other cultures and traditions rather than fight to keep their culture and traditions alive and well. Pathetic.

Too funny.

I am not an immigrant. My family goes back eight generations here. I was born and raised here, and have no ties whatsoever with any other nation. I am as Native American as the descendants of those who wandered across the Bering.

We are most definitely NOT a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of Americans, faced with an illegal invasion of squatters.

8 generations? And before that?

Before that is irrelevant.....

In other words, you are from an immigrant family like the rest of us.

Nope. Born here is not immigrated.

(X)That just about sums it up. If you were born in America than you are not an immigrant. An immigrant is someone who has immigrated to America from another country.

They are succeeding now and have been for some time.

Exactly wrong. Immigrants are still assimilating as they always have.

Wrong again.

America has become a hodgepodge of different groups that are not assimilating. It takes a generation or two for different nationalities to assimilate and with liberalism in charge, assimilation is no longer a requirement. When one is taught in the p-schools that American history is nothing but evil, why would one want to assimilate as an American? Plus Mexicans think the southwest US is really part of Mexico, because America stole it in the Mexican American War.

Nonsense. You've bought into what the leftiest leftists want, but it is not reality. Stop playing their pawn; they've made a fool of you.

Absurd.

Reality is what it is. ....

Yes it is. Try living in it sometime. Immigrants today are assimilating as always, they know what a real map of North America looks like, and they understand better than you the importance of learning English.

Do u even leave ur moms basement? Assimilate? Prove it.

Throughout American history there have always been ignorant caitiffs like you whining with those exact words, and throughout American history immigrants have assimilated all the same. Ironically, within a few generations many of their descendants have turned around and joined the chorus of whiners only to be proven wrong in turn.

... America speaks English,......

America speaks hundreds of languages. English is the dominant language of use in America and its mastery is essential to success in my country.

 

[Unkotare]

...... and has Christian values and beliefs, and is a Caucasian country. .....

Protestants were just as afraid of Irish Catholics as you are of your boogeyman today. America is a nation of shared principles and NOT skin color. Accept that or leave.

 

[Unkotare]

... Take Latinos for instance. They now have their own TV/radio,newspapers,community centers......

At the turn of the last century there were many newspapers in German, Swedish, and other languages serving different immigrant communities. Cowards like you turned weak in the knees, while the new immigrants turned into Americans.

Ireland did not share a land border and have an historic claim to a large percentage of our nation's territory.

And the Irish Slums were still poverty and crime ridden hellholes.

Do you like having our cities turning in the Third World?

Current demographic and immigration trends will have America, a century from now, speaking more Spanish then ever.

Being concerned about negative and harmful change is not cowardice, it is responsible thinking.

Not true. Most of human history, travel was rare and limited.

Otherwise recessive traits like white skin or blond hair would not exist.

(X)But Unkatar(two bricks shy of a load)multicult boy wonder refuses to see what is happening. Spanish is on it's way to becoming an official and equal language in America one day. Bilingualism will become the rule of the day in America, just like Canada, and the costs to the American taxpayer's will be in the billions.

Thus your posting about what happened with a historical wave of immigration does not mean that that is what will happen with this wave of immigration.

As I pointed out in the part of my post that you cut, travel historically has been very limited.

Other wise you wouldn't see whole populations with recessive traits like white skin or blond hair or green eyes.

The increased travel of the modern world is a major change from history.
