Failed multiculturalism in Wisconsin

Last Sunday, 8 American were shot by a man from Asia, known as a "Hmong". Quickly, 2 lawyers were called in to defend the accused shooter, claiming the act was in self defense, while suggesting that racial slurs were spoken by the dead men.

Quite frankly, I don't care about Hmong culture. Or Turkish culture. Or Japanese culture. Or Indian culture. Or Iranian culture. Or Chilean culture. I care about American culture, and when immigrants move here and haven't learned American ways after living here for a quarter century, 6 years of which spent in the California National Guard, there is a major problem. MAJOR. Reported in the Kansas City Star:

• Nearly two decades later, both Hmong and longtime Wisconsin hunters say similar gaps in communication and culture happen often. Though the divide has existed for years, the question of how to address it is gaining new attention after last week's shootings in Sawyer County in which a Hmong hunter is accused of killing six people after being told he was on private land. Chai Soua Vang told authorities he was shot at first and insulted with racial slurs.

Let me tell you how I would address "the divide". Legal immigrants would have 6 months to pass a State issued examination pending arrival into this country. Failure results in immediate and permanent expulsion. Immigrants would be required to demonstrate a basic proficiency for and understanding of American culture before the immigrant is granted temporary residence status, and a basic conversational command of the English language would be required before the application for immigration is processed.

Once upon a time, we were a nation of immigrants, which some would say we still are. However, years ago, those who came here assimilated into America and learned our ways. While many held their own traditions inside the home, it was simply unheard of to arrive here and expect natives to accomodate you and your alternative habits.

We are not a great nation because we accept immigrants. We are a great nation because of what we offer the immigrants. A hope for a better life, a fair wage, a chance at religous freedom, personal security and fair treatment under the law. Sadly, immigrants in 2004 have realized that it is no longer necessary nor useful to merge into American culture, on the contrary, much benefit is to be gained by claiming discrimination, intolerance, bigotry, or cultural difference. Including a viable murder defense in the eyes of some.

When will there be enough evidence for the cultural elites who populate the Democrat party to realize we cannot continue offering asylum to legal and illegal immigrants from all around the globe? When will the radical left move beyond labeling those who seek protection and preservation of the American culture as racists and bigots? When will our government hear the cries from the men and women who make this country work that the load being placed on our backs is becoming unmanageable?
