re: Immigrants are not adopting American Culture

in the America you envision, we would not be able to buy a pizza, breakfast burrito or kolache.

Don’t be daft. We’re not talking about food, music, or how they dress; we're talking about core values of what makes an American.

Values that teach us to hold our individual freedoms about the state/collective. That we are free to make of ourselves what we can without authoritative interference, or, yes, even to fail. That one is absolutely secure in their person and property regardless of personal beliefs. That each man is a king unto himself and owes no homage to any power not of his choosing; and to respect the freedoms of others to choose differently. That, quite paradoxically, we will answer the call to protect said freedoms with the ultimate sacrifice.

There is most definitely something special that makes an American an American. It’s not what you eat, or what music you listen to - for in that diversity is our strength. If however, an immigrant chooses not to embrace that special something, and chooses instead to subvert the American way, then they are most certainly a detriment to our society.
