How many blacks and hispanics, Jews, Hindu, etc live in these countries without fear.

How free are you to be a catholic in these countries.

Why is the left so dumb and naive and if they really believe this to be true then let them live in their homes

Let the left pay for them, feed them, give them clothes.

See how that will work out!
good luck finding someone who watched the particular CNN segment you did, and is willing to defend it.

I have watched CNN for years, but since Trump won it seems like they have went into far left overdrive. Many of their anchors just seem angry, and it's constant doom and gloom. I can't watch it for longer than about ten minutes now, I get sick of constantly hearing about Russia and Putin, it's the same thing everyday.

Actually, all of the above are prime examples of American melting-potness.

OUR "Italian, Mexican and Chinese" restaurants are a nice Americanized mixture which have become integral to the American cultural and gastronomic experience.

What we eat here at a "Chinese restaurant" is not what you'll find in Shanghai. And our pizza is pretty much an American take on an Italian favorite. Our Mexican food is also "Tex-Mex" more often than not.

That is true . Many people would recognize this "ethnic" food we eat here if you served it to them in Mexico,china , Italy .

Chinese food in America probably is the most different from what is served in China .

In Italy they don't even slice the pizza for you ... imagine how pissed off people in America would be if they got a pizza and it wasn't sliced !

What does having ethnic business restaurants have to do with the fact that we are supposed to be a melting pot out in mainstream America? Are we an Asian country in identity just because we have some Asian restaurants for example?

No, we aren't. We have an identifying culture and language with minority cultures living among us. That does not make us multi-cultural per se. White Americans are still the majority in this country not that that has anything to do with it anyway.

I'm guessing the answer is zero , even though they could financially afford it if they wanted to .
I'm sure if any of the CNN elites were doing something like that we wouldn't hear the end of it .

They aren't going to want the refugees in their neighborhoods and in their kids schools .

From what I have read, IMO, they would much rather be in their own countries if it was feasible.

Now that makes sense! We don't have the jobs and resources to support all these refugees on our soil many whose cultures are incompatible with ours anyway.

Not even close Ray. The left seeks to redefine what the country is and what the Constitution is.
The right wants to strengthen the constitution and have everyone play by the same rules.
