And the same goes for the rest who refuse to assimilate…
Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is saying what a lot a folks are thinking these days. So when I heard about this Italian immigrant in my home state of Rhode Island being represented by the ACLU because he wants to take his driving test in Italian, I was like, enough!
Look, my great-grandfather and many like him braved hardship and the North-Atlantic to come to this country, assimilate, and become “Americans”. They saw it as a great source of self-worth and honor to have made their way to a free land where their efforts would ultimately dictate their success. Consciously or unconsciously they seemed to understand the intent of the Framers better than most university students in the U.S. today.
To be sure, “Making America great again” will require that decent Americans learn their history and not be manipulated by groups like the ACLU which regularly bend and frankly contort the Constitution. Moreover, a simple Google search or trip to the public library will tell you all you need to know about the mindset of those who penned the founding documents and Bill of Rights, and how their hopes and dreams were most certainly predicated on E pluribus unum – “Out of many, one“.
