[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Where are we allowed to ask people to adopt our culture?  The only countries I have heard doing this are France (Burka / Burkini ban), some parts of Germany (education classes) and I think Sweden (video on nude sunbathing shown to immigrants). If we did any of these there would be a hue and outcry. A well known politician recently got slammed for suggesting folks who want sharia should not move here.  How, pray tell, do you propose this culture litmus test which I am totally fine with but does not sound anything like the identity politics America we now lie in where students in the UC system are allowed to advertise for only "POC' roomates. Doesn't seem anyone is interesting in adopting anyone's culture these days. It's a free for all and lots of people willing to defend people's individual 'rights' over the general welfare.[/quote]

I am not sure what is so complicated or revolutionary about what I said. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees. We plan to accept 10,000 at this point. All of those whom we might potentially accept have to go through a multi-staged process that includes interviews with specialists who have been given culturally-relevant training. Exponentially more are being weeded out than are being accepted. These specialists can, and probably do, consider a candidate's ability to adjust to life in the US as one of the factors in weighing approval. If a man shows up with four wives for instance, things are obviously not going to work out for him in the US. He should be redirected elsewhere while someone more compatible with our society can be considered instead. That is an extreme example, but the same sort of thinking is probably at work already, or at least should be, when it comes to selecting the refugee that come to the US. Everyone should want the refugees to succeed and such a limited number will be allowed to come here, we shouldn't select those who have no interest in becoming part of the fabric of our nation.
