is it? my understanding is that the only thing you abandon is
your allegiance to foreign powers. Each immigrant brings something
with the idea that the result is greater than the simple sum of
its parts. That's what I sign up for.

Most immigrants are looking for a better life, so they don't have much to
bring, and there isn't much that they want to bring.

You cannot have the best of the old country _and_ the best of the new.
