[QUOTE="hoser, post: 202990, member: 6357"] I really disagree with this. You need balance, and there is none here. The great thing about the USA is individualism and freedom to expression, and this statement just goes against that. I love the USA because a Egyptian can immigrate to the USA and call himself an American. That can never happen in France. Let the Immigrants come, let them call themselves American, but don't say that they should shed their identity. That they shouldn't wear hajibs, they shouldn't speak Japanese, and that they're 'disloyal' because of this. A lot of these people that immigrate here WANT the American way of life, but it's pretentious/European to say that they should forget their roots in this paradigm of "pledging allegiance". This is nothing but a Dutch style of immigration, which is simply backwards and un-American. You think? The USA anthem was sung in Spanish and I didn't see it as more of a headline for more than a week. Do that in Europe and elections would be based on that issue. Mexicans can go around the street in Houston waving the Mexican flag without a second glance. You can't do that in Sweden. USA is a Mosaik IMO. They say Canada is, and I don't see much difference between the integration of immigrants in these cultures. [/QUOTE]
