Obama says that being an American is a matter of faith. I think that most Americans would assume that the faith that makes one an American is faith in the founding principles as laid out in the founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of rights; a faith Obama clearly does not share. Ronald Reagan
said something similar, I don’t remember the exact words but the essence was that America is more than just a place, it also is a state of mind. A state of mind not shared by illiterate illegals and certainly not by Obama’s favorites, the Muslims, and definitely not by Obama.

I would like to throw out this thought about religious tolerance and immigration.
Many early immigrants to these shores came because they were members of religious minorities who were discriminated against in their home countries. They came seeking only the freedom to practice their beliefs, amongst themselves, in peace.
Muslims, on the other hand, come from countries which are predominantly if not exclusively Muslim. They are not leaving their home countries to escape persecution. They are, after all, the ones who have been persecuting those in their countries who have the audacity to choose another belief. Muslims come to non-Muslim countries for two reasons. 1. Because the teachings of Islam, when the law of the land, preclude the establishment of an economy capable sustaining a significant population, and 2. Muslims come to non-Muslim countries to establish a fifth column and ultimately bring religious persecution to their host country. World domination is their unambiguously stated goal.
It appears they are succeeding, while we in the west wring our hands about how to best accommodate them.
