Time To Bring Back Assimilation

Assimilation, Ignored For Too Long.

It is not racist, mean, or cruel to expect people who come into your country to assimilate.

I don’t care what color your skin is, where you are coming from, or what religion you follow, but you are moving to our home, so please remember that.

In most countries, it’s the unspoken expectation.

You don’t move to Italy, Mexico, or South America and expect them to change for you; you adopt their way of life.

In many Western societies, the idea of assimilation has been turned into a phobia, which is a lie.

Bring up the idea and watch the fangs of the usuals come ripping at your flesh.

To assimilate means: become absorbed and integrated into a society or culture.

When you visit someone’s home, change schools, or move to a new town or a new state, you need to assimilate.

You follow their rules, understand their history, and appreciate what they have, so you can become part of that community.

You will always have your own ideas and different customs, but if you left what you had to find a new life, you need to abide by the new rules, laws, and expectations of the place you move to.

Most people who move to a new place understand that; however, there’s a push to villainize assimilation as somehow evil and mean.

I lived the first 60 years of my life in Oregon.

I witnessed firsthand, as a journalist, what happens when a group of people destroys the place they come from, with ridiculous regulations and ideologies.

They don’t like what they helped create, so they move to a place like Oregon, repeat the same mistakes, and rather than assimilate, they indoctrinate those same failed ideas into law and nearly destroy Oregon.

They didn’t come in and ask; they came in, hid behind their arrogance by “doing us a favor,” and took away the very things that made Oregon, Oregon. After a few decades, our state looked more like the failed places they came from than it did our home.

Now we see the same thing happening on a national scale,

Joe Biden’s administration opened the borders to between 10 and 20 million illegal immigrants.

Many of them didn’t come here, like our immigrant grandparents, to assimilate into this new nation.

They didn’t desire to become “Americans”; they kept their own nationality, but moved here to enjoy our prosperity without becoming part of our national identity.

The liberal left opened the doors, told them to bring their culture with them, and to ignore assimilation; in fact, they forced us to change our rules for them.

Now we see the results of this craziness as independent journalists unveil the lies, the fraud, the ripping off of American taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars to set up fake agencies that suck up millions of our dollars that are not being used to better America, but are being sent home to these foreign nations to build them up.

That’s why assimilation is so important. That’s why borders are borders. That’s why this has to stop.

When Kathy and I moved to Montana, we saw something that didn’t add up. We had ideas for change that might have helped, but our main goal was not to change the place we came to. We want to understand their culture, their history, and why they do the things they do.

I get criticised by some for continuing to talk about Oregon and not Montana.

Assimilation is part of the reason I do what I do.

I know Oregon.

Oregon is my culture.

I’m going to be careful about calling out Montana on things because I’m new here.

I’m still assimilating.

I already see folks from failed states coming to Montana and doing the same thing they did to Oregon.

I refuse to be part of that.

The absence of assimilation boils down to arrogance and a lack of respect.

Everyone is welcome to come to our country legally or move to another state.

And please, bring your customs, ideas, your food, and your culture.

You are more than welcome as long as you follow our rules and laws.

But respect where you are moving to, please.

If you come here with the idea of changing your new home or helping us “see the light”, you missed the point.

We didn’t ask for your help.

We invited you to be part of our national identity, not to help us create a new one.

And remember, you are coming to our home, so out of respect, you need to assimilate and follow our rules.

That’s assimilation.
