We’ve been told that America is a nation of immigrants. That is true, of course, but it doesn’t go very far. America is a nation of ideas. And so long as immigrants embrace those ideas, America thrives. But in recent decades, immigration has been de-linked purposefully from assimilation by the Left. The result: a multicultural ethos that destroys founding values, drives a wedge between Americans, and destroys the social fabric. Immigration is an asset to a nation so long as the people who enter the country want to abide by the basic ground rules — which, in America, means self-reliance, personal morality, and acceptance of liberty as the basis for a workable society. Failure to do so means importation of groups of people who cannot help but undermine the American bargain for themselves, other immigrants, natives, and the next generation.
Myth 1: The source of immigration does not matter.
