While there are many of Hispanic heritage that love America and work diligently to be an integral part of America, there seems to also be a large number of Hispanics who have no interest in assimilation – and it is unprecidented in the history of this nation to have such a large number of immigrants who place their ethnic heritage above America. We should welcome those who wish to come here and take the fibers of their greatness and weave them into the cloth of America. We should turn away those that do not wish to pursue such a path, those who wish to work towards the destruction of the cohesiveness of America by speaking foreign languages and waving foreign flags on our soil – those people will never make a contribution to America, but instead will take from America only to achieve their own selfish goals. America was made great by those that came here to be Americans.
