Assimilation

The first victims of becoming a “protected group” were the American Indians, who were shuffled off to “Reservations” to continue their cultural practices rather than being “assimilated” into becoming Americans. This was a mistake but is now protected by the bureaucracy and the Democrats who love to expand protected groups to pander to their victim base.

We now have Mexicans and Muslims forming communities and wanting to continue their own customs while not assimilating and they are noisy, threatening, demanding and dangerous. We want them to “assimilate” or go back to their home countries.

We do have a multi-generational, intact farming community from Finland living in the upper Midwest, but they are quaint and peaceful like the Amish. We are fine with these unassimilated groups in the US, because they don’t cause any trouble.

The path of least resistance in immigration is to let these immigrants settle within their own ghettos, but be educated in government schools and eventually break ranks and marry partners from other national groups. But that process should be limited to legal immigrants who are granted a path to citizenship and it should only include the best and the brightest.

The evolution of the Democrat base has weaponized groups to fight for their “rights” that includes things that are not “rights” like housing, food, cash and free stuff. This is extremely attractive to immigrants from third-world countries, so you won’t find any Democrats who support assimilation.

For the “feed the poor” gang, I would remind you that St. Paul wrote: ‘those who will not work should not eat’. Allowing immigrants to be eligible for welfare was another big mistake.
