Yessir... now read the 2nd federalist paper
he clearly outlines the identity of America, and it goes beyond just an idea. let me see if i can pull out an excerpt real fast
here is a nice summary
"Jay continues that there is no longer a common consensus that America's prosperity depends on being firmly united. At the time of writing, some politicians (with increasing amount of supporters) argued that the country should not have a central government, and should instead exist as separate sovereign states. Jay's aim is to answer this argument. First, he contends that the country is already united in several natural ways. The geography of the beautiful land suggests that we remain a united people because the navigable streams and rivers, which encourage transportation and trade, connect the states. More importantly, he argues that the people worship the same God, come from the same land, speak the same language, have similar manners and customs, and believe in the same principles of government."
John Jay was onto something... the true identity of America that will unify us and keep our ideals intact for many generations
Jay was a little to into centralized government for me but that was the point of the Federalist papers to layout the positive argument for *even having* a federal government. As to the part you quoted I agree. Like I said the purpose of immigration is to *create new Americans* to assimilate them into that same language custom and manner.
This goes to a more fundamental question... of whether or not these migrants and etc... even WANT to do this
so should English be an official language?
let alone if they can... Honestly.. im not sure
and id say yes
if you believe in the idea of what america was founded to be, then english should be our national langauge
btw how many English people will i piss off with some Irish rebel songs
haha well not me cuz im partly irish
Northern Irish <:hyperthink:462282519883284480>
honestly not sure which part of ireland my ancestors come from
NornIrishh
Hence my concern about the *rate* at 600K (or 1M) integration can be successful. My gr. Granpaw nicht sprechen Engles. But given time and social pressure here I am and I love trucks motorcycles and guns as much as any other American and speak more Mexican and even Russian than I do German.
anyways found some civil war songs that I just are so catchy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkpk0-0cfVU
I think your concern is well-founded
The *legal* rate is entirely acceptable. That is not the problem.
But I am more of an isolationist
It's actually lower my familly came over in the Gilded Age when the *legal* rate was higher.
Mainly because we have so many problems that need to be solved domestically
such as the issue of homelessness you all touched on earlier
perhaps there can be a day we open up the gates again... so to speak
ah yes when the Germans and Irish were the degenerates during those days, for some reason
but right now... we need to close them
Glad to see America embarassing itself even more
Glad we left the kurds
okay he has to be meming this, like always
Funny how they've become the laughing stock
We have no business fighting conflicts for israel... as we have done for decades now already
The homelessness is not about migration it is about the mismanagement of leftist governors. You will not find many homeless immigrants.
@UnScottable
Israel is our best ally..
we've gotta stick up for our allies
Well.... see you'd think that
But I just feel israel has sort of tricked us into putting their needs first.. rather then our own
But the Holocaust dude..
