I have met many 2nd generation people with East Asian ancestry and honestly I can't tell the difference between them and us "real " Americans. I get it though. We grew up with people mostly from north Western European backgrounds whose ancestors were poor but came from so called civilized countries. Countries like Germany and Austria and France and Italy. During the last century they did very bad things, very uncivilized like things. Killing 6 million civilian Jews was quite an impressive feat coming from a civilized country. Quite a few German Americans didn't disagree with that nastiness, yes, they were "real" Americans that lived in such places as Ohio and Pennsylvania, real American kinda states. There descendants assimilated quite well though. They hold positions in just about any occupation out there. Hell, I couldn't tell the difference between them and some murdering Nazi son of a bitch. Could you ? Hey, I'm not a German basher or a Western European hater, because if I were I would hate myself, which I don't. All I'm saying is give these people a chance. Give em a couple of generations to assimilate. If they don't I'll be the first one to cast a stone and help you throw them off a few buildings.

Rickey D. I certainly have understand and respect your opinion. However, you paint a broad brush when you make all people in Germany, France Italy etc all responsible for the the killing of 6 million Jews. And without getting wordy Belgium is very much like the liberal side of America. I reported on Belgium in another thread about six months ago and did make the mistake of saying th Muslims were a majority when I should have said they are reproducing so quickly that they soon would be a majority
Sharia Law is their aim and conquest of the world their end game.
I moved down from Minneapolis area where the largest Somali population exists. Clearly they have no intention of assimilating. Somali clerks refuse to check out customers who purchase pork Somali taxi drivers will not accept people in their taxi who carry liquor purchased from abroad.
The Somali community meets in the center of the city and it has gotten so bad store owners received permission from the police to tow away their cars because they blocked store fronts etc.
More terrorist originated from this community than any other in the country
The fact is that those immigrating today for the most part, not all, are not as inclined to assimilate as did the European immigrants.
If our politicians had any courage at all they would stop immigration now and until they enact a sensible immigration plan that allow entry of those who would most likely make a positive contribution to our nation
However you almost have to be in a coma not to see how badly this process is being handled and for no other reason than politics
I equally blame all politicians because you are either a part of the problem or a pat of the solution and this county is really short on viable solutions these day
