Freddie DeBoer notes that liberals cannot admit that past examples of successful immigration have involved migrants conforming to their new culture:
Last fall there was something of a local controversy in my town regarding drive-thru workers with limited English skills. Apparently, a number of my neighbors had taken to Facebook and NextDoor to complain that local fast food restaurants employed recent immigrants whose English skills were so bad, they were incapable of doing their jobs. A particular McDonald’s location drew special ire. As a good progressive defender of immigration, I dismissed this talk as simple xenophobia, and indeed there was no doubt a lot of that. What I read about on a local blog certainly involved language that was, at least, unkind. But in the months since then, I’ve gone through that McDonald’s drive-thru window probably a half-dozen times, and I have to tell you…. I often genuinely can’t understand what the women (all women) working the drive-thru are saying. I honestly can’t, and I spent years teaching English language skills at the college and graduate school level. Most visits are an exercise in frustration. And I have to admit that a job where your primary responsibility is to talk to customers is a job that requires you to speak the native language of the country you’re in with at least a certain minimum of fluency. Whether that’s good or bad, progressive or reactionary isn’t the point; it just is necessary.
“Immigration” is a false category. It does not exist. It has never existed. The second-generation “immigrants” are of exactly the same race as their parents. Only intermarriage (hybridization) has ever worked, and because intermarriage (hybridization) erases two old races to conceive one new race, without strong subsequent selection the new race will tend to be degenerate of its two parental races owing to detrimental variance.
