One thing I find interesting in the immigration debate in this country is the large number of people that want to immigrate to this country because of our American values and the large number of Progressives that dispense with our American values when it suits their narrative to accommodate these immigrants.

Very true. It's a peculiar phenomenon. I feel like the progressives are forcing the immigrants and their American-born offspring to completely live the life and culture of their originating country whether they want to or not. And for the record, I've met far more who would rather assimilate to our traditional American values than not.

I believe Tom Lehrer described the leftist values best back in the mid-60s with the intro to his song "National Brotherhood Week".

I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that!
