Rep Tancredo said yesterday at the presidential Republican debate that all immigrants should assimilate into "American culture"..........what ever American culture is
His worlds really enraged me.........

The United States is a country founded on immigration, and to be place where people of any race, religion, background, culture, ideology, age, or sex can come together and live side by side to flourish in America. That is the American dream, a place of Opportunity. America is supposed to a “tossed salad” if you will. You got lettuce, cucumber, chicken, dressing, tomato, croutons all in one bowl. All these great ingredients represent the different cultures, ideas; religions etc. that people live with side by side each other. Tom Tancredo will have you believe that the United States was founded on the idea of a “melting pot”, where all ideas and cultures are blending into one. The problem with a melting pot is that the majority of the ideas always push out the minorities, and thus the cultural and ideologies minority beliefs will be lost. This is not the American way. America is not a place where people come to assimilate into main stream culture, it’s a place where immigrants and citizens a like live for individual freedom of their own culture, religion and language. Learning the English language is very important for new Immigrants to learn but it should not be the official language of the United States. Having an official language would go against the whole foundation of the United States of America.

TOM TANCREDO- I DON’T WANT TO ASSIMULATE I AM MEXICAN AMERICAN WHICH MEANS I AM AMERICAN AND THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH YOU JACK OFF.
