00:00I agree with this 100% assimilate and don't be a burden or get out go back home and if
00:09you don't
00:09agree with this then I don't know what to say maybe you're not American I don't know because
00:16this is common sense to me but let me know what you think the melting pot simply isn't melting
00:22that's a problem the foreign-born population is about as high as it's ever been in American
00:26history what is the purpose of an immigration system the purpose of our immigration system is
00:31to benefit our people historically American immigration was predicated on two key ideas
00:36one of those was you cannot be what's called a public burden in other words you can't come into
00:41the country and immediately hop on welfare and expect the American people to pay for your food
00:45and your housing your health care and everything else the second was a concept of cultural assimilation
00:50you were expected to come into the United States and to become fully American not a hyphenated
00:54American you're expected to adopt our customs our core beliefs revere our heritage just like we
01:00do part of the rationale behind drastically reducing legal immigration as well as illegal immigration is
01:06allow that assimilation to actually occur for people to actually melt and re-cohere as an American society
