I don't know what people from abroad you're referring to, Kevyn, but speaking from my own experience, my grandparents came here from Ukraine and Poland, respectively, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and assimilated 100%, as in "we are Americans now." Not a Polish or a Ukrainian American, just "American," period.
They wouldn't allow anything but English to be spoken under their roof.
Back then and for decades hence, that was how immigrants came to America and became Americans.
Then along came your Ilk, leftists who, for some perverse reason, despise our great republic despite having benefited from living here and partaking of our liberty.
Your kind, unfit to call yourselves Americans, encouraged non-assimilation, hyphenated Americans and making it non-mandatory to even learn English.
"For English, press 1."
As with most leftists, it doesn't bother you in the slightest that this kind of mass immigration without assimilation has led to the dissolution of many past civilizations... Perhaps that was the actual lesson meant to be conveyed by the story of the Tower of Babel.
Regardless, it would seem that if someone moves to another country and intends to stay, they should assimilate without reservation.
If they feel the need to celebrate the customs of the old country, have annual parades, whatever, maybe they should have remained there so they wouldn't need the nostalgic events.
But this multiculturalism your kind promotes is beyond the pale, no pun intended.
