She is correct in her statement that America is a melting pot. Our culture has been formed by the combining of many.

From many, one.

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi - I think she was referring to the fact that the idea our culture is based on Judeo-Christian culture is misleading and ignoring many other contributions.

CPT Jack Durish - I don't read it that way. I think she is asking that we all be more accepting to other ways.

I agree with MSG Stan Hutchison in this. I don't see anywhere that was inappropriate. I also do not see where she refuses to conform to our laws and asks that people "melt" her way.

Not uncommon among 1st Generation immigrants, what we see happening though is 2nd and 3rd generation cave-in and eventually assimilate. We have not had a single population group that moved to the United States that had not assimilated by the third generation. One of the biggest reasons of course is we do not accomodate them otherwise. Example: we don't allow speaking of Somali instead of English by government employees, we don't change our road signs to be Somali, We don't insist on school books being written in Somali and English. So the accomodation part is what we need to keep an eye on as a society. Additionally, we want to keep a lid on immigration numbers so that the 1st generation immigration cohort doesn't become so large that it is able to influence U.S. Laws. Either one of those two items would be a threat to our melting pot.
