[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 914150, member: 9789"] Those two cartoons strike a nerve with me.... My biggest concern over our failed immigration policies is that our country [B]allows[/B] these illegals to "[B]blend in[/B]" because there is no reason to assimilate into the American way of life. I consider myself an American above all other cultural or nationality overtones. I visited the area where I grew up, Monterey Park California and found that I no longer could read any of the store front signs. I felt like I was in the Orient. I went to a restaurant in Corona CA, and could overhear 3 separate table conversations in a foreign language. Why should I feel that I am a visitor in my own country? I feel that we need to protect our American heritage. In most other countries, I could not survive without assimilating into their culture. These people pick up and go at a drop of the hat when the government starts to crack down. I watched that happen here in Arizona. Anyone who will leave at a drop of the hat does not have roots here. They are taking what they can and moving on. OK - I am done with my rant! [/QUOTE]
