For years, people all over the world gave up the life they knew to come to America - legally mostly - and start life anew in the land of opportunity. We became known as the great Melting Pot because we were all Americans - not Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, German-Americans, or anything else hypenated although the ethnic hertitage od the former land was something to retain and be proud of. We all joined together in this new land and became Americans, speaking English, embracing free enterprise, and becoming the world power that we were.
Then came the concept of multiculturalism which says that separate groups of people can exist side-by-side within a country without adopting the new country as their own - sort of a physical relocation program without giving up anything from the former location. It's literally transplanting a culture from one country to another and taking up a sort of colony there.
It's been tried all over the world, but Australia and western Europe have had it. Their new mantra, with French President Sarkozy being the latest to come on board, is if you want to live in their country then embrace everything it is. Otherwise, don't come. Australia, England, France, and Germany have said as much.
This is one time when we should be more like Europe and get back to the Melting Pot concept that made us great.
Looks like that "America, love it or leave it" idea is right in line with current French, Australian, German, and English thinking for their respective countries.
