The US is a country of immigrants. We are all immigrants, or the children of immigrants. (except for the native peoples, but they are far from a majority.) France is a bigoted, corrupt European country. The US is supposed to be BETTER than France in every way. The US is, and hopefully will remain, the world's best country. Even if we stop being the most powerful, we should never stop being the best.
BTW, assimilation is a 2 way street. In order to assimilate people into our culture, we must accept part of theirs. This is why the US's culture is more diverse than that of any other's, and it something you must think about when yelling about your fear of Islam. I am not saying there is nothing to be afraid of, but the refugees are coming here looking for a better place, not to stay in their bloodthirsty homeland. The Cossacks who came to the US 100yrs. ago assimilated with no issues, and they were born & bred thieves, murderers, warriors & rapists - that's all their culture was about - kid is born, forge him a sword style of thing. The people who choose to leave their country and make a better life in the US are probably among the best of the people of their country, and show, just by coming here, that they want our culture. Let them blend in and share as they can.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but please refer to post #23980. I could not have said that better

Those classes are for those learning English hence why it’s called a English Second Language class.

Hello; Yes of course but a pointed question is why these classes are needed. The need is because of a very large number of children in the country who do are not fluent enough in English. That the numbers are great enough for the need to exist it the telling point.

I worked long enough to be vested in a pension back in 1997. There was a strong need for science and math teachers in the latte 1990's so I was able to work for a number of years in some other states as a teacher. Beyond my science certification there were always two other things of prime interest I was asked about. One was what sport I could coach and the other was if I speak Spanish.

Look at it like this. Youre nice enough to let me live with you since my other living situation sucks. Now am i suppose to make you speak my language, eat the food I like, and accommodate me in every way.....or am I suppose to be greatful and abide by your rules?

Hello; By my way of thinking the person is supposed to be grateful and abide by the rules of the new place just moved into.

Dude that's so jacked up. I watch her on world of dance she preaches Latino this Latino that. Now if I got up there and did the same with my nationality she would be all over me for racism. That's what I don't like the hypocrisy. If we're going to do it do then let's do it all the way.

Seems Time magazine is doing the exact same thing... Ugh, makes me soo sick..

Vetting ? Serious question other than quoting DHS guidelines on "how" they are vetting these people. Do you honestly believe these methods are effective ? Do you believe that a terrorist could possibly sneak his way in ?

Terrorist have snuck in on numerous ocassions

That is OK, they lose more face with every instance. The media machine attempting to control the narrative is doing a great job at self exposing.
