Nations survive and thrive on common culture and identity. America protects itself from decay by promoting a cult-like support for the Constitution. This is not bad, on the contrary it is quite good, it allows our nation to protect the very rights it was founded on.

Immigration is both the bane and the life of this system. It allows the influx of new blood necessary to prevent decline, but it does not force that new blood to have the same respect for culture that native citizens have propagandized into them. Here enters the need for restriction on immigration, tests on knowledge of American history, civics, etc.

I want a compromise, there isn't any need for either racism or self-hatred, let in immigrants regardless of race or ethnicity, but only take those with an actual interest in assimilating to American culture.

I know many US citizens who would wholeheartedly agree with you.

However, I am not sure that assimilation is entirely necessary. Sure, people should know the language(English!), but I think that if Americans are exposed to different cultural perspectives, it can help them deal with citizens of other countries as well.

Assimilation is the single biggest factor in the greatness of America .

If any person or group of people wishes to maintain their old culture they should stay in their old country .

Yet you perpetuate and propagate hatred, why is that? Are you not a patriot?

But what if they can't stay in their home country? What if they can't find a job or even a safe place to raise their family? What then?

We have established immigration protocol for those fleeing persecution but even they must assimilate if they desire to be American .
