Good Article about America

After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion and let a
Muslim woman have her picture on her drivers license with her face
covered, I believe this is even more appropriate. Read on, please!
This is an Editorial written by an American citizen, published in a
TampaNewspaper.
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some
individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we
have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans.
However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the
"politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility
that our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone
who
is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost
entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants.
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to
our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.
This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only
to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.
As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own
language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries
of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who
have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or
any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian,
right wing, political slogan.
We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian
principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is
certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as
your new home, because God is part of our culture.
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then
you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we
really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR
COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.
Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his
opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But, once you are
done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our
national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage
of one other great American freedoms, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

I heard somethin similar on the radio. Some dude was screaming about how foreigners are taking over and stuff. Iwas even talking to a guy who speaks spanish but he is fed up with people from mexico that come over here and speak spanish the rest of their lives.
Well its true. If you go to any other language your gonna have to learn to speak that nations language, but America caters to them instead.
And because of so many immigrants, factory jobs no longer get high pay because they take all the jobs for less. I remember my grandpa used to make a killing in his factory job.
Now dont get me wrong, every one deserves a chance to come to the US if they want, if not I wouldn't be here since my father was an immigrant. Something has to be done.

Same debate is happening here, but i grew up in an Irish/Carribean area, where cats fly the tri colour and speak patois, so i dont care when foreigners dont adapt to the British way, im used to it.
