America has been enriched by all her immigrants. Where did your family come from Sean?

Sean said...

Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, France and Germany. So far as I know. A bunch of mutts to be sure.

The point is, this is a typical statement that is said without any real thought behind it. Point in fact - we haven't been enriched by all our immigrants, especially not of late. How are we enriched by those who sneak over the boarder, take advantage of our "free" services and send most of what they do earn back to their "real countries"? How enriching will it be when we start seeing Sharia law taking effect as it has in the UK?

I'm sure there are muslim Americans who enrich us. But there are also many muslim immigrants who have no intention of ever becoming Americans who have quite different purposes in mind.
