Has our national tapestry started to unravel?

"Was our nation built on immigrants? Absolutely. No argument there. But immigrants from the past wanted to become Americans. Live in America as Americans. Today, not so sure. We have many people who want to change America - not to become Americans."

In our country right now, we have some welcomed guests and a whole slew of unwelcomed interlopers. In our country right now, we have some new Americans who want to become a part of our national fabric, and some who would prefer not to be. But we are no different than Europe is right now. Many countries in Europe look or act nothing like they did a few decades ago. Why? Sticking round pegs in square holes. Trying to assimilate people who don't want to be assimilated.

Many who have come to America, as in Europe, don't give a whit about coexisting with other people. Joe Biden and company let millions of people, from all over the world, into our country without vetting them. NEWS FLASH: Many of people who arrived here during Biden's term, hate America (and Americans). Then why are they here? They are here only for the freebies. Sound cruel? Sorry. When some illegal Muslim from Egypt decided to blowtorch some elderly Jews just for the hell of it in Boulder Colorado, I would say that is a huge problem. So much for that "coexist" BS.

Some countries in Europe are ringing the five-alarm bell right now. Why? They fear they are losing their countries. To what? To uncheck immigration. Unvetted immigration. Forget assimilation. Forget peace and harmony. For many in Europe, this has become a battle to regain sovereignty.

The same is true for America. Under Biden, with the non-stop flow of border jumpers unchecked, our national tapestry started to turn into total tribalism. Fear, distrust, hate have started to replace national brotherhood. And to make matters worse, we have people on one side of the aisle who are just fine with what is happening (Democrats). They have fought tooth and nail to keep our once national tapestry - frayed and fraying.

I have said for a long time now that what has happened to Minnesota can happen to the rest of the country. We have areas of downtown Minneapolis which no longer resemble America. In these areas, there is no assimilation. No coexisting. Minneapolis looks nothing like it did when I was a kid. 

Was our nation built on immigrants? Absolutely. No argument there. But immigrants from the past wanted to become Americans. Live in America as Americans. Today, not so sure. We have many people who want to change America - not to become Americans. We also have some who came here illegally who want to do harm to America. Do harm to Americans. This is what no vetting, no screening, no knowledge has given us. 

To save America, to keep our national tapestry intact, we need to let DHS keep doing the "who is who" drill. For those who immigrated here legally (and vetted) - welcome to America. For those who came here ILLEGALLY, your time is up. For those illegals who want to do harm to ANY American, regardless of race, creed or color - we will find you and export you someplace out of this great country.
