Immigrants good for me and you? Bad? How to make a good answer that is accurate?

I guess that's all you're capable of.

The melting pot means learning and living by the great truths of western civilization, it does not mean giving up ethnic identity. How sad that this is no longer understood, how very very sad.

So centuries of struggle to free society from oppressive tyranny finally issue in lovely highminded ideas about humanity and institutions of freedom for all, only to be reduced to rubble by a few moronic mindshrinking Cultural Marxist epithets, which can only leave us all worse off than ever.Well, it can't be long before Antichrist takes over.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

As a matter of fact there isn't much of the Christian culture left to destroy, but with wrecking ball rhetoric like yours who needs barbarian hordes?

More hot air, jar, though you keep pretending it's evidence. It's not. Where's the evidence that Islam promoted universal education?

How can you just keep going on that way asserting this and that when you've offered not one iota of evidence of the one thing I asked it for: that he did in fact establish universal education. Even evidence of his mentioning it somewhere would be a start, but the original context was where it actually got established.

So much for centuries of hard-won principles of civilization and government.

Ooen Borders and Multiculturalism cannot do that.And I want LEGAL immigration, CONTROLLED immigration, which is NOT slamming any doors. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I do NOT want to "keep out the multiple cultures," in fact what you get with Open Borders is not multiple cultures but mostly just one culture. The problem with Multiculturalism is that assimilation is not emphasized and we get these groups of people that don't become part of the main culture, don't learn or accept its principles. Cultures have ideologies and in many cases some pretty primitive governing principles that don't mesh with the principles that built western civilization. If they are willing to learn and assimilate, that's the melting pot, but as long as they insist on maintaining their completely different principles they do not become Americans, or Canadians or whatever, may not even want to learn English. I'm sure this doesn't describe your grandparents, who apparently immigrated to Canada before there was any real need for immigration controls anyway. As did my Canadian grandparents too though mine did speak English. America has had many immigrant ethnic groups who didn't speak English, but who didn't refuse to learn it either and whose descendants joined the melting pot. This is what immigration laws should encourage. Open Borders and Multiculturalism do not encourage it.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I agree. Open Borders gives no respect whatever to American citizens.

Public education is not socialism. Public works are not socialism. Socialism is not the support of infrastructure or any institution available to all. Socialism is the taking from some to give to others.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

So you're all for giving the continent back to the Indians? Or turning it over to Mexico?

I despite a lot of what has been done with it in recent years but I don't despise the principle.

Public works are done for everyone and contributed to by everyone.

No, socialism redistributes wealth, taking from some to give to others. Even where it seems to be designed to benefit all it takes from the richer to give to the poorer. That is not the case with public works.
