Immigration to the USA

I've avoided political issues thus far in this blog; I needed to educate myself more and also think. However, now I'm ready - although willing to listen and learn.

Today's topic is immigration. There is significant Internet traffic suggesting that sincere immigrants should be willing to adopt the language and culture of those who were here first. I am sympathetic to that viewpoint, but personally find that prospect very difficult. The predominant first people where I live were the Kalispell - there aren't enough language teachers who know the language, nor am I sure there is a standardized written version. I'd like to stick with English, but would be willing to learn another european language (e.g. Spanish), but that isn't in the spirit of the political vogue.

The current flock of immigrants, unlike the semi-early crop (the smallpox vectors), are exploited rather than exploiters. They work extremely hard and get paid poorly, no time to learn Cherokee - like the Irish, Poles, and others before. Luckily, the euro-center of the USA considers itself christian - one of the religions that loves its neighbors. This suggests a solution. Let's say there are 18 million illegal aliens. So let's take the richest 18 million euro-centric christians and expell them to make room. They would probably go voluntarily, because of their christian leanings and because, with their great wealth, they have multiple homes abroad anyway.

Next time: reading references for the unwary.
