I’m with C AVOR, I’m a big city boy, one of our favorite things to do of an afternoon is to walk around ethnic neighborhoods and take it all in, but here’s the rub, multi-culturalism is being replaced by mono-culturalism. Instead of the good blending we used to insist on, which helped all immigrant groups to assimilate into the American standard while adding a leavening of their culture into ours, all of which I’m good with by the way, we now have an enormous number of people coming from one source which defeats the whole notion of multi-culturalism.

If you actually support multi-culturalism, or have ever considered what that actually is, you should be the first one at the border demanding it be shut down. How amazing to me how few people even seem to know what words mean anymore.

The key is the leavening, a hint of spice as opposed to what we have now which amounts to a dry mouthful of Cayenne!

My grandparents were German, have you ever had to press two for German?

National defense, security, effective border control, strict immigration enforcement and related measures do not preclude multi-culturalism. The reason for the ‘extreme voices’, your words, is a force equal to the power and influence of those who allow the abusive neglect of this country’s fundamental safeguards is required to correct that past abuse and prevent it from continuing before this insane trend destroys that same multiculturalism.

It is a large assumption to think you are rare for not hating multiculturalism. If you think those who favor effective border control and strict immigration enforcement hate multiculturalism you are politely suggesting people like me are racist. I don’t take offense at that but you would be wrong. That fallacy has been promoted by the open borders crowd as they have no valid argument to oppose following the rules or the rule of law.

The open borders idea is also a fallacy for it denies fundamental safeguards and denies equal opportunity to enter this country for those who do follow the rules. For those who claim past and present immigration processes are too limited, it is that way for a reason. No country can accommodate the entire world population. Therefore the flow of immigration is metered to prevent the ill effects of excessive population growth that strains the nation’s ability to absorb the added burden to public and private services and infrastructure and keep the peace.

I’d like to continue but I need a break.

Anytime anyone wants to do something positive about immigration the extreme voices are the only ones heard, and time goes on and nothing happens other than a few more thousand illegally cross our borders.

I am a rarity in that I don’t hate the concept of multi-culturalism, and see immigrants, even those who are here illegally as demonstrating a type of pluck that has aspects which can be admired. However, the bleeding must be stopped, and then a realistic, sane, and collaborative policy to do with those who are here in this nation must be brought about. It will take a good deal of political coin, and the current Administration is plumb broke.
