In Michael Moore's new video, when he travelled to other countries to find good ideas to bring to America, why didn't he bring back ideas like the following?
* Restricting immigration. Countries like Japan and China don't allow the 3rd World to flood in and as a result they have a strong culture with little crime.
China is 3rd World. It's one of them definition thingies.
Well spoken. Until roughly the Civil War, or the better part of half our nation's history, anyone who reached these shores automatically became an American. Of course this does not include those who were brought here as slaves, but the point still stands.
And, going back, there has always been a big paranoia about immigrants of one type or another, be they Quakers or Irish or Germans or Chinese...
I love my country. I truly do. I'm no super-patriot, but this is a unique place with incredible, inventive people (most of whom are descended--obviously--from people who immigrated here) beautiful land, etc., etc.
But there is no denying that this nation was built by immigrants and through the genocide of one race and the enslavement of another.
So were all the Latin American countries, but they aren't great. Maybe what makes the United States great isn't immigration, but our Constitution and rule of law. The people who want open borders want to change all that.

Michael Moore is an ex-janitor from an auto plant with a camcorder. He has no credibility about anything.
