Today thirty five years later no one would know unless I told them. Sadly I fear the recent batch of imports have no desire to do so, in fact the fundamental ethos in their culture conditions them against it. Not sure I understand how this contributes anything positive to the cultural enrichment of America. In fact I find it quite disheartening.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-12996704628123646732017-11-30T08:15:02.336-05:002017-11-30T08:15:02.336-05:00I do have concerns regarding the influx of immigra...I do have concerns regarding the influx of immigrants. My main concerns are....how are we going to feed and house them? If we keep growing pretty soon there won't be enough. Further, I don't believe I should have to learn their language e.g. Spanish. Were I to move to France or Germany or the Czech Republic I would need to learn their language in order to fit in.Momladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511742074910407321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-71992263531682329192017-11-30T08:05:43.333-05:002017-11-30T08:05:43.333-05:00I have no problem with immigrants until they deman...I have no problem with immigrants until they demand I change to accommodate their culture. Assimilation is a two way street, but if I have to change because they are offended by something I have done all my life, my tolerance begins to wane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-63082216572291620032017-11-30T05:14:49.501-05:002017-11-30T05:14:49.501-05:00Sad at times, but definitely true.
