I think what is missing in the melting pot theory is nothing is melting. IF those who came here learned to speak the language and took to the laws and culture of this country thing would melt together as they have and should for many years. What is missing is a law that would shut up those who perpetuate racism and laws against freedom for their own perception of freedom. We have laws that are not enforced like car insurance for example. But some(and I won't point fingers) don't believe this is necessary and it cuts down on the amount of money they can ship out of the country so that more can run the border. We perpetuate or own doom by allowing this because we are promoting segregation. We preach against it but do everything we can to actually promote it. The people I hear complain about this the most are those who actually go through the process of becoming legal citizens and who do adapt to the original spirit of being an American. This is sort of a racial thing only because of the lack of prosperity in other countries. And we ,out of the kindness of our hearts don't shoot when they cross the border. We don't force them back, or jail them. We feed them , pay then to have babies,let them flood our emergency rooms in hospitals because they don't believe in buying anything they can get for free. Why are the like this? Look where they come from. Some don't even know how to use a toilet for havens sake. They just use the paper and throw it on the floor. There are 5 houses on my street that have 3 to 4 families living in a single dwelling house. 10 new cars and pick-ups in the driveway that seem to never move. Not like they are going to work everyday. This could anger me but hey, I can't blame them. The dumb working class in this country has allowed it to happen. It will lead to trouble someday and it may get real ugly. It may not but I only see groups angry at other groups and I don't see any common sense solutions on the horizon.
Yes natural born white Americans are as much a part of the problem because they let things get this way. In fact all legal voting age Americans are part of the problem. And I can't speak for the rest of them but this 1 world economy thing isn't working out so well for us. This being nice and generous is costing us everything we have worked for. This helping the world be a better place is not working at all. We have depleted our check books and credit cards on a national level and it's crunch time. And we know it would be best for us to slam the door cut out the funds and fix our own problems which we could probably do in a year. But no, this would cause to many problems for others so it just won't happen. For awhile anyway. :<0)
