America’s Melting Pot Becoming Parallel Societies With Too Much Immigration newswithviews.com/americas-melti…
America cannot continue to exist with endless and exponential immigration growth. Everything faces limits: Number of people in a pool. Number of people on a dance floor. Number of people in restaurant. Number of people on an airplane.
“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a back-ground of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship.
America must be kept American. For this purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration a selective nature with some inspection at the source, based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization.
. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. I am convinced that our present economic and social conditions warrant a limitation of those to be admitted.
We should find additional safety in a law requiring the immediate registration of all aliens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.” —President Calvin Coolidge, December 6, 1923
As it stands today, two U.S. House members, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both Muslims and one born out of our country, swore in on the Quran, and both oppose the concept of America: ....
....free speech, free choice of dress and religion, women’s rights and animal rights. They form the beachhead by which other Muslim immigrants will install Sharia Law—already being practiced in Detroit, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York City and Miami, Florida.
Everything in Islam contradicts everything in the U.S. Constitution. And, followers of Islam intend to conquer America given enough time and numbers of followers. One look at Europe gives you a peek into America’s future.
“Some observers expect Latin American immigrants to follow the European path to assimilation, but their optimism may not be warranted. In several ways, today’s immigrants are different.
“One of the most obvious differences is in numbers. Any given individual can potentially join the American melting pot, but the likelihood shrinks as the size of the out-group grows.
In 1930, just after the Great Wave had ended, 12.6 percent of America’s foreign-born population hailed from Italy, the highest percentage of any nationality at the time.
“By comparison, 29 percent of immigrants were born in Mexico as of the 2010 census. Adding immigrants from other Latin American countries brings the Hispanic proportion of America’s foreign-born to 53 percent.
The long-term effect on America’s population is notable. Hispanics were just four percent of the overall U.S. population in 1970, but today they are more numerous than black Americans. By 2050, Hispanics are projected to be more than one quarter of the U.S. population.”
By 2042, Hispanic-Latino-Mexican Americans will become the new majority. And, that will include an additional 100 million more people, net gain, trying to make a living in America while the environment suffers enormous consequences. Quality of life: forget it.
First-generation Hispanics are quite poor on average, but their children will certainly make economic gains. The problem is that assimilation slows at that point. The Hispanic third generation remains well behind in measures of educational attainment, test scores, and earnings.
The melting pot does not succeed or fail in a binary fashion. It would be fairer to say that it exerts a limited power of assimilation over all groups, but that groups with greater initial differences will see those differences persist far longer.
In the case of European immigrants from the Great Wave, the melting pot appears to have enabled “patriotic assimilation,” but not complete assimilation in the economic or cultural sense.
Whether the descendants of immigrants from Latin America will experience even patriotic assimilation — not to mention socioeconomic parity — is an open question, but the evidence so far is not encouraging.
