The settlers left their
homelands to find freedom in the New World, freedom to practice their religion,
freedom from excessive taxation, and to find a piece of land they could claim
their own in order to escape the suffocating tyrannies who exploited them, made
their daily lives a tremendous hardship, and taxed them to death. They saved
their last pennies, left everything behind that was dear to them, and embarked
on a journey of salvation, not knowing how and where in the New World they
would survive. But they had faith in God that, through hard work, opportunity,
and perseverance, they would succeed. They did not have a safety blanket in the
form of government welfare, there were no guarantees beyond their ability and
willingness to work.
Fast forward to the end of
the twentieth century. People disliked the regimes in their own countries so
much that they moved to a more prosperous country, some legally, to get a job,
some fell in love and married a foreign national, some joined the Army, some
came to school and never left, and the majority of others crossed the borders
illegally.
It would seem logical
that, if you are so unhappy with your country of origin and leave indefinitely for
better opportunities and a better life for your family, you would embrace the
culture and the language of your new home. Why disadvantage and limit yourself
economically by rejecting the new language? Keep your own culture and language intact at
home, have clubs, festivals, holidays, or organizations to celebrate your
culture and ethnicity, but make an effort to be part of the new society you
willingly joined and help make it better.
We became a nation of legal immigrants from around
the world who built America and made it great by assimilating into its way of
life. We learned English and are proud of our Americanism. We respect the laws,
the flag, the Constitution, the national anthem, its history, and are proud of
its accomplishments as a nation and its exceptionalism.
A lot of immigrants today
refuse to learn English (perhaps a few are unable to learn based on their
advanced age) and expect everyone to learn their language so that they can
function. Hospitals, Social Security offices, welfare offices, schools, DMVs,
voting precincts, libraries, stores, cinemas, theaters, courts, legal offices,
police stations, and doctors’ offices provide them free of charge with
translators and/or documents in more than 150 foreign languages. If we
immigrated to France, we could not do that, we would have to learn French or
else we would be ostracized.
It is understandable why a
lot of Americans are angry with these people who leave their third world dictatorships
behind and want to drag all their customs and theocracies like Sharia Law, into
our country. Americans do not recognize nor want such a barbaric code of law
that runs against our Constitution and our Christian beliefs. If your cultural
and legal practices were so dear to you and our culture and practices offend you,
perhaps you should not have moved to our country where a majority of Americans find
such practices unacceptable to civilized people.
The new wave of immigrants that the multicultural
progressives are pushing in the name of diversity, have no intention of
assimilating, they are here to take over our country because we took it over
from them, long time ago, it is payback time, they say. And there is another
group of immigrants who want to install a Caliphate here.
Multiculturalism failed miserably in Europe – both Chancellor
Angela Merkel and former French President Nicholas Sarkozy acknowledged
publicly that multiculturalism failed, but the diversity crowd in America forgets
to mention that important fact.
Because we disagree with self-loathing liberals who
grew up resenting America and push multiculturalism at all costs, we are called
haters, bigots, and xenophobes. There is no room for diverging opinions or polite
disagreement. It is the progressive way,
there is no room for discussion or opposition. Our country must change in the
image of the progressives. And this image resembles more and more the
totalitarian communism I fled.
I don’t want to engage in Schadenfreude, but it
appears to me that the communism-loving liberal brats don’t like the communist
style accommodations at the Sochi 2014 Olympics and are complaining bitterly
about it through tweets. They preach communism to the rest of us but want to
maintain and enjoy the capitalist lifestyle. You can’t have it both ways, you
must make up your ignorant minds.
I am a legal immigrant myself who became an
American by choice and assimilated into society while helping pro bono countless
other legal foreigners with paperwork translations, food, clothing, grocery shopping,
hospital visits, and school. Am I still
a bigot and xenophobe and how is that possible?
