We have ALWAYS been a multicultural country. St Patrick days parade's. Many celebrate different religious beliefs in December.

Olive Garden has a "Taste of Italy". Does that send you off also?
Olive Garden and St. Patrick's day parades are your examples of diversity? Yes, those worked just fine.

Islam is incompatible with western civilization.

Hmm...

My city is 25% white, 34% black, 25% Hispanic, and 17% Asian, and about 1/3 of the population was born in another country. Seems to work just fine.

The United States has become an extremely successful nation with its diversity. It is more successful than even Japan and arguably more than any country in the world. Therefore, I disagree with your main point.

Having said that, I think we should limit immigration to our country based on merit. I believe that is Canada's immigration policy, and if it is then they have it right. We have taken in far too many people who came from the lower elements in their societies and have brought in crime and lawlessness to so many communities. THAT is the problem and it has to be stopped.

Agreed. It should be like a job interview. Why should we allow you in-show us your resume.

Agree this is the best it's ever been & maybe the current 'discordance' will be as 'things getting worse (temporarily) before they get better?

As for the revenge taken after the American Civil War? When Confederate-Sharia laws were enacted? How was that assimilation into society? How was that an example of 'becoming an American' or 'identifying as an American'?

As bad as things are, in terms of racial tensions, this is actually better than at anytime from 1969 and prior. I think social media has exposed the bad that is still out there.

Confederate Sharia laws go counter to what America is suppose to be about. If we're all Americans, we should treat each other as such. The sad thing is, some people want the version of America where all non-Whites are excluded. People couldn't "become American " while being excluded.

Immigration is voluntary, not forced. Anarchists have to defend completely open borders, but most won't because they don't actually believe in no government.

You can not. The places that have the most happy people are where they are homologous. Japan is one. They have a very strict immigration policy and they are among the happiest and content. This multicultural BS is down the same rabbit hole as political correctness.
THANK YOU for showing us all who you really are.

Diversity is nice, especially in diversity of ideas, which is often neglected.

However, there should be a push to assimilate new groups to basic tenants of Western principle.

Additionally, we should accept new Americans in such a manner for the safety, environment, and flourishing of our own people.
