A Nation of Immigrants — Only if They Assimilate

A Nation of Immigrants — Only if They Assimilate Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. 

The Left repeats that ‘we are a nation of immigrants’ without citing the other half of that fact — ‘who assimilate into America.’ I am writing this column in Japan, a country whose crime rate is the lowest among countries with large populations. I asked my Japanese translator, a middle-aged woman, what she thought. “Why is there is so little crime in Japan?” I asked.

Without taking a moment to reflect, she responded, “because we don’t allow immigration.” Anyone who visits Japan is struck by the ethnic homogeneity of the Japanese nation. If you meet a Caucasian, a black, or a Hispanic in Japan, you can be all but certain that the person is visiting or studying here, but is not a citizen.

Likewise in the United States, there is direct correlation between ethnic homogeneity and low levels of violence. According to the most recent data, the four states with the lowest rates of violence are 

1. Vermont — where 95 percent of the population is one race (white).

Assimilate to whose standard? Yours? Mine? The standard of "White, Patriarchal American Evangelical Christianity"? As long as they don't mess with that, the immigrant will be left alone, correct? America is bigger and better (and yes, more diverse) than that. We are stronger with them than without them, if for no other reason because they shine light on our own hypocrisy.

You're part of the problem. I know you like to troll on here and the daily times always trying to divide. Maybe you should go elsewhere, since you don't like it here.
