America is a melting pot. It always has been and it always should be. Fresh blood and fresh ideas keep our country alive and thriving.
All throughout our history, as a nation, we have had people of all races immigrate into our country. The percentage of any given race has always had fluctuations and spikes. We have had large numbers of people of Japanese heritage, Italian, and many others. The spike today just happens to belong to those of Mexican heritage. In another 10 years it could very well belong to a different race.
I do not care how many people of any race come to our nation as long as they want to be American and are here ‘legally’. Do I need to repeat that? If you did not come here legally and you do not want to be an American (in every sense of the word) then you are a criminal and an enemy and you need to either leave or be thrust out.
Being an American does not mean losing your heritage, but it does mean assimilating into American culture. Diverse heritages make our country wonderful. Tumorous growths of other nations living within our nation makes our nation sick.
If you come to our nation to become a new branch of your home land then you do not belong here. Bring your diversity but leave your baggage. That is why this is the land of the free. Not ‘free’ as in ‘handout’, but free as in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Free to choose your own destiny.
The idea of focusing on racial diversity is a poison. The only diversity we should care about is whether someone is American or not. We should not care where our neighbors come from, only that they are here legally and want to be proud and loyal citizens of the United States of America who bleed red, white, and blue.
What we should be focusing on is securing our borders, our national security, and our national identity.
