I really have a gut feeling that God himself does not want me to feel this way, so I hesitate to even share my thoughts on it. But frankly, haven't the results of multi-culturalism been made clear as day by now? I don't hate anyone or think I'm better than anyone, but good fences make good neighbors. That's all I'm saying. It's not about hate.

Multiculturalism always leads to societal crumbling. Look at the fall of rome, the fall of persia, the fall of every chinese dynasty. Look at the fall of europe thats been happening for 100 years in a slow burn.

I have nothing against legal immigrants, but for gods sake assimilate and embrace the epicness that is america. You left the old country, so learn the new country’s language. Don’t let old traditions come in the way of flourishing in one’s new future.

The fall of Rome was because Romans got fat and lazy and over-extended themselves forcing them to outsource their military to Germanic tribes. Essentially giving the gates of their city to their enemies.

Similar problem with Persia, they overextended themselves militarily and financially with their invasion of Greece.

As far as the fall of the Chinese dynasties, each was different, but the last Chinese Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, was composed of foreigners from Mongolia, who invaded and subjugated the Hahn majority

Yup you are correct. In terms of both Persia and Rome, they extended very far and had all these provinces/governances (ie people with radically different cultural backgrounds and patriotic loyalties). As a result, both Rome and Persia failed to create an assimilated Roman/Persian "national" (i know they were empires, but I think the word still fits) identity throughout their empire. This means lack of cohesion in government and military which eventually led to both being wide open to attack. In the case of rome overwhelmingly outsourcing their military to germanic tribes, I believe that only reinforced the lack of national identity and cohesion across the Roman empire.
