It was founded on opening up to people who buy into our cultural ideas. So far, our Muslims are assimilating fairly well here. But they do a godawful fob of assimilating in most places. We can't have that. Germany and Sweden are on their way to being unrecognizable. You OK if that happens here?

I don't think there's much of a chance of that happening here. Our immigration and refugee policy is much different than in Europe.

Good for Alabama to be smart enough to become pro active rather than following
the Obama example of leading from behind.

Actually our country was founded by a bunch of migrants who crossed the Atlantic and mooched off of the people who had been here for a long time. They had zero interest into assimilating into their culture and systematically slaughtered as many as possible.

leftists are fond of making this point as a counter argument to concerns over our immigration policy....

as with most leftist points, it's unclear as to what the point really is beyond some empty attempt to mock disagreement with their world view ...seems to be something along the lines....

" shut up, your ancestors did the same or worse so you have no right to complain or resist "

this is likely followed with condescending dismissal of the concern as even being legitimate despite ample evidence to the contrary.....as with gun control, socialized healthcare, speech restrictions, centralized governments, immigration policy....the American left looks longingly to Europe as a model and object of their desires ....

when someone points to Europe's examples of failure in these policies, the leftists assumes a dismissive stance and claims that their policies will not have similar results....the European left is ignoring the disaster created by their policies and labeling anyone who objects as intolerant, fascist, Nazis...etc....

there is a concerning dictatorial tone shared throughout the left that simultaneously mocks concerns over misuse and abuse of authority by elected officials and their surrogates while dismissing concerns over Constitutional issues as they push ahead with their agenda ....which is why gun and ammo sales will continue to set records...it's not because hunting has suddenly become really popular
