That's the same tired argument the protestant establishment used during the potato famine to argue against the irish immigrating.
And the jews in the 30's.
And the Italians in the 1900's.
The fact is all of these folks have immigrated into our society and made it stronger.

Here's a little secret - most of those immigrants went back. Only the ones who wanted to be here and succeeded here stayed. You can have more open immigration with a need for unskilled labor and a lack of a welfare state - neither are true today. Also, all those groups shared Christianity and western principles, allowing them to integrate (which still was not easy).
You deviate from my point, though. All peaceful, high-functioning societies share culture and have higher IQ. Below IQ 90, democracy cannot function. What do you think average IQ in Syria is?

so you accept that when immigrants come here, they bring their culture with them. and that adds to the diversity of our current culture, religion, and ideas.RiverguyVT wrote:HvilleHokie wrote:except for st patricks day, Italian restaurants, mel brooks movies, irish pubs, Columbus day, Seinfeld, pizza, etc.RiverguyVT wrote:All those groups assimilated, too.HvilleHokie wrote:USN_Hokie wrote:

Stop being so silly. You define assimilation around food items when to us Americans, it's about belief in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not eating tacos as you dumb the debate down to. America is an idea that we're the best with the least government.
