Reflection+on+Our+Crowd

Rudolph Arnheim once said, "In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival." And this is very true. We Americans are, all of us, the progeny of immigrants. From the migrating tribesmen who crossed the Bering to become the Native Americans, to the Africans so brutally kidnapped and brought to these shores, to the European and Asian peasants seeking a better life in Columbia, all were immigrants. They managed to come together to feed the Melting Pot and turn America into a superpower. Our forebears banded together to make this country great, so what right have we to deny the same rights to others? Why can we not accept the brotherhood of our common humanity and strive to take our country to heights never before seen in her glorious history?
