What we should be asking is "Are you an American?" It is possible for an individual to be proud of there heritage and still consider themselves an American. I'm not even sure you need to be a citizen of this great country to think of yourself as an American. I have seen especially in the southwest people living in and enjoying the comforts of this great land we call home and insist on displaying the flag of a foreign nation above the flag of the United States. These people don't consider themselves American but the sons and daughters of other nations. It is imperative that we understand that it is not our government that should insist on assimilation of immigrants...it is the sons and daughters of this great nation that should insist on it. We the people of this great land should be the ones asking the question "Are you an American?" Are you here because you wish to participate as an integral part of our soceity or do you insist on living on the fringe?
It is our responsibility "WE THE PEOPLE"
