Why immigration does not work from some countries

Although people associate race with their disdain for other people. It's actually a very shallow view of discrimination. The real factor people should look at is culture.

The reason I don't approve of bringing in hundreds of thousand people from Syria is culture. I know many people of different colors that actually have the same culture while I know many of the same color that do not have the same culture. I have Muslim neighbors from Iran who are respectful and peaceful people. I can hear their Muslim prayers from my house as I recognize it from my time in the Middle East. But while they are Muslim they also enjoy American culture. They love American movies and spend much of their free time tending their beautiful yard that is full of fruit trees and gardens. I admire their love for fresh fruit and aesthetically pleasing work they've done to their yard. The husband Sam is a handy man and him and I have spoke many times. I've helped him carry things in from his car including an aquarium. He shares his pomegranates with me. I have enjoyed our interaction. While his wife is very quiet she is extremely pleasant and leaves every morning to what I assume is work.

There are other people from the Middle East that I don't get along with. These are individuals who do not approve our Western culture. They are often not very nice and openly criticize us and laugh while speaking their languages to each other. They only associate and speak to their own culture and people while distancing and avoiding interaction with Americans. They also make little effort to learn the language even though they expect to stay in America long term. While I don't expect people visiting America to necessarily learn the language I do if someone expects to live here. If I intended to move permanently to another country I would definitely do my best to learn their language. I would assimilate.

As a country why would we want people who disapprove of our culture and don't like us to come here permanently?

How anyone could want hundreds of thousands of people from Syria to come to America without knowing first if they fit in here is surprising to me. They'd be better off finding a place somewhere where they would be comfortable and happy. The gray area here is that there are different cultures that can fit in peacefully without problems. But to let thousands of people in mass in is a mistake in my opinion. It only creates more tension internally in our country than already exists. It also strains current social programs that are already on the verge of collapse. They take money from social security which I have paid into for over 30 years to give to those programs. Leaving me without the program that I have paid into with over 30 years of hard work.

I'm of Mexican descent. For hundreds of years people from Mexico have been coming to America from Mexico. For many generations they felt privileged to come to a country with so many freedoms. When I was a boy the older generation would encourage the younger generation to speak english and assimilate. Although there is a problem in the US with many Mexican immigrants abusing social programs by having more kids than they can afford in order to receive more money from these social programs. US citizens who have been in this country for many generations continue to do the same thing. I blame the system mostly for this problem not the people abusing it. But as a whole I have not found that these cultures of people hate Americans and everything we believe in. They don't threaten to destroy us and bomb our people by claiming their religion tells them to do it.

I blame this on political correctness. Instead of people speaking how they feel and think they say what they what they think others will want them to feel and say. Media and extreme liberal views convince them to endorse this mass immigration without ever looking deeply into the results of this experiment. There is nothing wrong in my opinion with disagreeing with allowing this to happen. Eventually it'll create an internal civil war which is probably the plan of many that support this. While many are right now thinking I am paranoid we are already witnessing many violent events by people who currently live in America. Some who were born here. While there are examples of Americans with no affiliation to these cultures also committing these acts they are few compared to those claiming to do it because of their culture. I could easily argue that out of hundreds of thousands of people at least a few from a place that widely hate our country will not only empathize but attempt to carry out violence against our people.

In a country that already has issues with violence why would some of government so strongly support bringing in hundreds of thousands of people with no questions asked? While many in our country blindly support this plan missions more oppose it. Many will blindly say that many of us are racist and oppose immigration this is simply not the case. Many people have already been affected by violence at the hands of these haters and you can't blame them for opposing these plans. Others fear what could happen not because we oppose immigration but because we oppose the forced acceptance of more people that hate us into this country. I will always support immigration by those with cultures who want to live peacefully with our freedoms I will never support allowing people into this country who hate our culture and want to replace our culture with their own. If their culture and countries are so great, then they should stay there or return to their country. If not adapt and support the cultures that live peacefully in such a wonderful free country.
