We welcome new people to America every day. We participate in exchange programs. We support charity programs all over the world.
You continually speak of your being in touch with mainstream America, but you continually make outlandish statments. Statements that show you are uninformed as to the feelings of Americans.

Is it wrong to ask someone from an impoverished nation or a political refugee to learn enough of your language so that they can integrate sucessfully in to the day to day requirements of being a citizen WITHOUT catering to their every need. If I were in their shoes I would GLADLY go to night school and learn a bit of the native tongue so that I could vote, earn a wage and purchase a home under the safety of the American flag. I would also make sure that my children could speak the language of their heritage. CITIZENSHIP HAS RESPONSIBILITIES!

I see no mention of religion in my response. I have no idea what so ever why you would post this. I do however agree with your statement and add:
And also the right to choose to NOT worship the god, sun, devil ar tree.

Already answered the language issue, please keep your thoughts together. Hate crime, I don't hate another language or that a person uses it and I hope that the culture has the backbone to not lose its language. Ever hear of BILINGUAL?

Immigrants - all white American's are immigrants - should not be so quick to want to close the gates as soon as they are inside. The persecution, poverty, famine that most of the people who came to America fled from still exists in the world - whats the difference, that the people starving or being persecuted arent so white now?

Under your thought process, ALL AMERICANS ARE IMMIGRANTS. Even the "Native Americans", they got here sometime from somewhere.
I am NOT an immigrant, I was born here.

The article at the start is designed at one thing, dehumanizing outsiders, "oh, they are not like us, they dont speak like us, they come here to take our jobs, they come here to get welfare to take our taxes..." this is the worst kind of politics, and yes it should be censored. When public words seek to do harm, or incite harm, on groups in society, especially the most vulnerable groups, they should be censored.
And sad is it may be, the St George's cross is a racist symbol now, because racist groups have captured it and made it their own - it doesnt mean pride in England, it means soccer hooliganism, racism, skinheads and hate.

A cross means different things to different people. If you have personally taken it upon yourself to change your internal meaning of the cross, then its on you.
You are so quick to censor. Everyone is inciting a riot or belittling someone else.
I, like others am glad you are not in charge. Your statements reveal that you have not tolerance for any opinions but your own.
Citizenship has responsibilities. Google it.
