Common sense.A simple test for immigrants is: would you enjoy working them. If so, they would be an asset to America.Micah (@micah_erfan):@Asmongold No one thinks that all legal immigrants are the same.On balance, legal immigrants are good for America, but there certainly are exceptions.My view:We should take in more people who love America, will assimilate, and will be net contributors to our society.And we should ...

RT White Papers Policy Institute (@WhitePapersPol)Time for your mandatory reminder:Most post-1965 immigrants and their descendants DO NOT identify as Americans. In fact assimilation has been in retrograde for decades.The tens of millions of people brought into the US & born to immigrant parents are not 'becoming American.' https://t.co/SUDESDT9tj ...

RT KeepCalmAndDrawl ☦️ (@FormerlyFormer)My husband, who is of Italian descent, mentioned something interesting yesterday. It is true that when Italians first came here, they got the side-eye, discrimination, etc. They also tended to excessive nepotism and clannishness. His position is that Italian-Americans are American today **because** no one shielded them from the social pressures to assimilate. Did they have to entirely abandon their heritage/identity/customs? No. But modifying enough to work within an ...

Growing up as a Chinese kid with flat hair for most of his life, cut by only the best barber in town, my dad, still huge forehead and focus on those A++ grades. There's absolutely no way you can tell that I actually don't fit into the AsianAmerican community. Oh, except I don't speak Chinese.Am I a bad Asian. I ask myself this question whenever my family eats at an authentic Chinese restaurant, like the ones where the walls are as old as the grandpa's eating there, and the decor is non-existent. The waiters ...

RT TMK (@themagaking)I’m an American of Cuban descent, and nothing pisses me off more than walking into a store, getting an Amazon package delivered, or pulling up to a drive‑thru and someone immediately starts speaking to me in Spanish, like we’re not in the United States of America. I don’t care if you’re from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, or anywhere else in South America. When you come to this country, you learn to speak English. You make the effort to talk to people in English. That’s called assimilation. ...

RT Andrew Torba (@BasedTorba)This is not assimilation.Nothing about this is "American" in any sense of the word. https://t.co/Qu753EtWgm ...

RT Douglass Mackey (@DougMackeyCase)America is not a creedal nation.It was founded and given “to ourselves and our posterity.”Outsiders have, at various times, been grafted onto the tree of American liberty, as the Gentiles were grafted onto the tree of Israel through Jesus Christ.Not by stepping onto magic soil, but through an arduous process of citizenship and assimilation over generations.Some Somalian or Indian or Afghan does not become an American by winning the diversity visa lottery or acquiring an H ...

[applause] Like many of you in the audience, I come from a pretty international background with my mom being Mexican and my dad being German. That being said, I've never actually lived in either country. I spent the majority of my life in the US. My entire childhood was spent in the US and the US has shaped who I am today in many ways.Now, while there were other people of international background like myself there, the grand majority of my peers were culturally American. While living in the US, I subconscio ...
