We are told repeatedly by the left that "America is a country of immigrants." Fine. Then let us return to the process by which our grandparents entered the country. 1. They had to undergo a physical exam. Contagious and even non-contagious disease carriers were sent home. 2. You were required to have a sponsor. Those without sponsorship were sent back. 3. You were required to sign a form confirming that you would never seek public assistance. No form, no entry. What was not required, but broadly accepted, was the notion that you would embrace American ideals and culture as your own. English was spoken in school, and the burning of American flags was unheard of and would have been treated swiftly and harshly by fellow immigrants. What was once a privilege is now treated as yet another entitlement. All while we do an abhorrent job of teaching any of these truths to our children for fear of undermining the hip and mindless concepts of "tolerance" and "compassion".
