[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be true in theory. 
But practically, if you live in a pluralistic society. The melting pot of America. You have bikers and orthodox religious practitioners. You have native Americans, 1st gen, 2nd-3rd gen, and Americans so long they don’t know when they came….

There is nothing to do. There is no homogeneity. It’s creepy to think about “making” it so.

Are you just trying to say Democrats will never have a progressive society? Because that’s not true. Can you see the difference of 1900 to 2000 alone?

Op, I can’t get into your argument. It’s theoretical, impractical, and nonsensical.[/quote]

It’s not “creepy.” America was a melting pot between 1930 and 1980, when immigration levels were much lower and the foreign born population was actually able to assimilate. Guess what? Union membership and social welfare policies were much stronger then too.

Wanting unfettered illegal immigration is actually a right wing, corporatist plot by people like the Koch Brothers to destabilize the American working class solidarity and labor unions. You have been tricked into thinking opposing illegal immigration is racist by nefarious right wing oligarchs. Bernie Sanders had this exact same POV 20 years ago. [/quote]
