Assimilation (the Borg are among us) It is not a request. It is a fact. If you do not… chaos. Were you really happier? Were you really better off? If you were, then why did you come? Free? Do you know what that is? Have you ever felt it? Have you ever had to sacrifice anything… for anyone other than yourself? You come here and you hate us. You come here and try to make us, like you. Why did you come? Why did you not stay where you were happy?’ Why now, except by force, tell others that your way is better, but yet, you run from your own lands. Your dark rulers kill your families and those left behind, yet you still love them, and worship what is given? Cowards that can not face the truth. Race, Creed, Color Religion, we all bleed.

I hear you, BUT born-Americans bear a large part of the blame, methinks: First, the citizenship test is a farce: Who is the Vice-President? What color is the flag? etc. They should be tested on the Constitution!! Second, all the help available in Spanish, Tagalog, Polish, etc. Third, all the welfare agencies at their disposal forever. Fourth, all the free services (county hospitals, schools, etc)... Ad nauseum, ad infinitum. We stoke their lethargy!...Gutsy write, Ann!
