How so? I don't think anyone is suggesting that we deport every illegal and close the borders - full stop. I believe what we have been talking about is tossing the illegals out (since they are ILLEGAL they obviously have shown a predisposition to not giving a damn about our laws), sealing the borders up tight to stop future illegals from coming in, and fixing the legal immigration programs to allow as many in as are needed/can be gainfully employed.
Now you have Legal immigrants here who have full legal status and access to whatever services are available, and they are part of the normal tax system, AND we have a better opportunity to screen who is here and only allow those in that are able to provide a needed role or service in the economy.
and my view of the assimilation discussion is that it is ok to keep your native languages intact, in fact I think it is desireable, as long as you learn the predominant language of the land you CHOSE to move to and use it to the best of your ability. If you don't want to bother learning how to assimilate and function in the culture you chose to move to, go back to where everyone speaks your preferred language.
