Balkanization of the West

[Steve R.]

Pat Buchanan, concerning the US, spoke of the coming Balkanization 60+ years ago. Of course he was lambasted at the time. Now his prescience is being validated. Based on anecdotal evidence there appears to be a recent uptick in media coverage concerning this issue.

This is why the fight starts in how we educate our children.

This is why I'm for school vouchers and I support Trump's "fight" against certain higher education institutions, because they have been outputting anti-American graduates for years and it's damaged our country incredibly much, producing radical leftwing prosecutors, lawyers, therapists, psychiatrists, even doctors, of course policy makers, and everything else.

Diversity is NOT our strength. Our strength is being able to assimilate people so that we are ONE. This makes us pretty unique among other countries. Not only do we actually welcome immigrants but we make them one of us (there are always some bigots in every crowd). We can't have people fighting the way the Democrats are forcing us to. The only thing diversity is good for is the new kinds of ethnic foods and new holidays that immigrants bring to us. Everyone is Irish on St Patrick's day and we're all Mexicans on Cinco de Mayo and Italians on Columbus Day and Germans for Octoberfest. Or is it just that Americans like drinking? On the Fourth of July, we are ALL Americans.

We should probably celebrate Guy Faulks Day and Bastille Day also. It's always good to have another drinking day.

A backdrop to the diversity question is your cultural roots that can actually be detrimental to assimilation. New immigrants will bring their cultural baggage with them. In the case immediately below a Chinese person spied on the US for the benefit of China.

In the case of many of the illegal immigrants, many come from corrupt countries. This was a massive invasion of the US. As such it would be nearly impossible for them to to be easily assimilate so that corruption won't continue to be part of their lifestyle.

I agree and that is why Muslims are such a danger to us also. But we close our eyes and take in both because we can't tell up front whether they really want to leave the past behind or bring it here and we don't want to paint them all with the same brush.
