Adapting to The American Way

Immigrants, not Americans, must adapt. Why should we worry if we are upsetting some individual, or culture, with our own way of doing things?

Since 9-11, we have witnessed a surge in patriotism, which is terrific. But up rears the ugly head of political correctness, complaining that we might offend others. I don’t care. I was here first. My primary language is English. Anyone who lives in this country should be required to lean English, if he or she wishes to enjoy the rights and privileges we grant our citizens. Nothing is more galling than to go into a business, prepared to spend my money for services rendered, and not be able to find an employee who understands me. I run a business, and don’t ask for any help from anyone. I pay well over minimum wage, and only ask a fair day’s work from my employees. I do not discriminate when I hire, but you can bet your bippy my employees are required to speak fluent English.

My grandparents were immigrants, and came here to make a better life for themselves. They adapted to the American way, and learned the language of their adopted country. Our entire country is one of descendants of immigrants. This does not justify diluting our own nationality, in order to be “ multi-cultural ’’. We have our own culture, language and lifestyle. All have been developed over 3 centuries of people fighting, and dying, for these rights. Even the right to desecrate our flag
( with which I vehemently disagree ) tells the world how we grant extraordinary privileges to our citizens.

We like our country as it is, thank you. I don’t intend to change. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest you take advantage of one major right that communist countries do not have: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
