Seriously, the immigrants are "breeding" faster and taking over the American tradition, and also they are trying to destroy the glorious culture that the country have. I'm tired of seeing people going to the USA just to "deposit their money in the bank" and buy our products while they probably don't like the country or even hate the traditions. I think America should fortify the culture and require that every visitor and immigrant should at least speak fluent English.
I'm afraid to say it, but they only like the USA because of what you can "offer" to them. America need to stand united to defend the culture from those blood-suckers and invest the money in what it's really worthy to.
PS.: I'm not an American citizen, but I would like to become one, but not just because of the "benefits", but because I love the American culture. Also, I agreed that the United States should secure the borders to prevent people from easily "jumping" inside the country.

I would like to say I agree with you, to an extent. People who immigrate to our country should contribute to society, not just horde benefits. I agree with this statement 100%. I also think all adults should be required to know basic English, and all children should learn it fluently by the time they leave middle-school.
I love and appreciate your support for the American culture, but there is a limit to what we can do. We should educate all children, ESPECIALLY immigrants, in the founding principles of our constitution, and why the US has succeeded in areas, and why it has failed. We should teach them all their rights.
But what we should not do is force them to take pride in America. They should, and I would hope they would, but we cannot 'force' them to. This would violate their rights. As a civil libertarian, I cannot support that idea. |

I'd be curious to know what interest you would have in preserving a culture that is apparently not your own. |

| Let's say that I identify myself better with the USA than any other country. Also, I have been reading about the American culture and I saw how similar I was to an American, so it all started there. The country where I do live does not have ANYTHING to do with me, I don't like the local culture and it does not have ANYTHING similar to my traditions. Plus, I was born in a Protestant family, the most people here are Catholics. |

So they should live how you live?
So they shouldn't be able to have freedom?
Doesn't that go against your constitution? |

I would also like to know how you define US "culture" and why everyone should follow it, rather than live in a multicultural society.

Then let me speak, as an American, against your reforms.
Capitalism is dependent on the free international flow of resources. Measures that restrict this flow carry the unintended consequence of impeding the economic growth of our nation and the aggregate global welfare.
Culture itself is the momentary expression of norms and taboos, which originate from society's interest in preserving itself. As the means to this end change, so does culture. It cannot be destroyed.
Your artificial barriers will only serve to weaken the very culture which you naively claim to understand. |

These are arguments that were made by people who doesn't care about their culture and who are blind by business and profit. I agree that the Capitalism should remain strong in the USA, but people are focusing themselves in only one thing while the country declines. The money that the foreign people bring is good, just when it is used with knowledge and caution. But the way the United States is going, they are gathering a bunch of money "for nothing" while another culture is cultivated. However, what I want to say is that the old tradition of the USA is being corrupted and that there is a new culture rising over the American society. Soon enough, people will start speaking other languages and you will do not understand your own people!
PS.: I'm not communist.
Note: Immigrants should immigrate to the USA thinking about the culture that it is dominant there not about the benefits or the money that they can "get" there.
Choose: You want to save your money or your country? |

No they aren't. They're pale. If they're white, you have an extremely unhealthy population |

My mistake, I thought I was dealing with a conservative nationalist. You people should wear name tags.
Yes, blinded by business and profit, but you neglected to mention opportunity and tolerance.
The money that the foreign people bring is good, just when it is used with knowledge and caution.
____
This was sufficiently ambiguous.
But the way the United States is going, they are gathering a bunch of money "for nothing" while another culture is cultivated. However, what I want to say is that the old tradition of the USA is being corrupted and that there is a new culture rising over the American society.

You can rest assured that our pluralist universals will remain intact. Culture cannot be corrupted or otherwise destroyed. It may only progress.
Soon enough, people will start speaking other languages and you will do not understand your own people!
____
This dynamic has existed since people came to America. Oh wait, that's the entire history of America.
