a fantastic essay! It is "we", it is "Out of Many One". It is being an American first. It is about becoming a citizen of a new home country in ALL ways. THIS ARTICLE IS ALSO AN OBJECT LESSON IN HOW TO BE A GOOD GUEST IN AMERICA. Whether you are a guest or a citizen, "you" (or "they") don't just get to pick & choose to take advantage of economic opportunities, free speech, freedom of religion or particular freedoms and ignore everything else. "You: (and I might add, "we") also need to understand that the Rights that "we" extend to all are not absolute, "you" cannot do whatever "you choose", wherever "you choose", whenever "you choose". It is not a government for "me", it is a republic for "We, the people". By entering this country, you enter into a social contract/compact that in return for America's protections and opportunities, you will respect American Western Judeo-Christian based culture, laws, and society. If and when you become an American citizen, you become American first and foremost, you must assimilate and integrate into our society and abide by all our laws first . You must uphold and abide by your half of the social compact/contract and "absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic". You must find a way to conduct your life while accommodating and adjusting to us, not us to accommodate and adjusting for you. Every nation on the globe, Western or not , expects and requires this of both citizens and guests. "We" (America) should expect and require nothing less. In fact, we should expect and require this.
To those guests who do not wish to make this country their home, but merely want to be guests, however long or short your stay, - If you do not wish to be a good guest in my home, do not come to my home, do not stay in my home. Find a hotel somewhere else that suits you better. (Never ever did I ever think that I would hear myself speaking like this)!
