[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 592793, member: 11425"] Interesting link which leaves me conflicted. On the one hand I identify with those who would work to "homogenize" our society. The "melting pot" concept to me is critical for America in order to retain the domestic peace and properity we have enjoyed for most of our countries existence. The diversity model that is being so vigorously pushed today I fear may be pushing us down the path of "Balkanization". History is red from the blood spilt over people trying to desperately maintain their group identity at all costs. Isn't our "great experiment" supposed to eliminate that? But, on the other hand, I have a strong anti-puritanical streak in me. I resent the constant intrusion society and government makes on our private lives. How to resolve the two? I am not sure but I support attempts to limit legal immigration and eliminate illegal immigration. I also support legislation that gives parents more power and choice over their children's education. What I find ironic in that article is that while the WASP's kept wringing their hands over these new immigrants and their ways and customs, it took years and years for them to cut off the flow of immigration. Do you think they liked the low cost labor so much that as long as the WASPs had power they were just fine with all these immigrants, but when these immigrants started to gain political power themselves, it became a different ballgame for the WASPs? It just goes to show, when it comes to sustaining an unsustainable way of life, we will keep exploiting, from the African-American slave, to the Irish, the Chinese, and now to the Latino illegals. And, according to the WASPs, they all can be a part of America, as long as they don't want to control the show. Anyways, like I said, I am conflicted :wornout:. [/QUOTE]
