Tucker on Assimilation: We Thought It Was Critical for Social Cohesion, Are We Still for That?
RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: “They quote from the poem on the statue of liberty and tell you about their grandparents. Well, previous waves of immigrants were asked to buy into this country's most basic ideals. Religious pluralism. Free speech, political freedom, equality under the law. Our schools made them learn English and tried to instill operatism. We called it assimilation. We thought it was critical to our social cohesion. Are we still for that? Do we still think we have values to impart or do we imagine that huge groups of people with nothing in common can share the same country without fighting each other? It's an important question. Maybe the most important question of all. We never hear anyone ask it. Anyone who dares ask it is banned from Twitter. Instead you hear the endless drone of self-righteous children barking about racism. That's not enough. The decisions we make today about immigration are irreversible.”
