The story of the Tower of Babel is so relevant here. Alexander Hamilton was quite correct in what unifies a nation but above all things it is a common language for without the ability to communicate clearly, precisely, without error and misunderstanding a people and nation will fall apart.
Our enemies are like an insane prison warden insisting we mix all the prison gangs together and anyone who opposes is a racist bigot, then while the prisoners are all murdering each other the warden loots everything and runs off to a new prison to do the same scam.
Outstanding piece. On the political side, its no wonder most non-Europeans have vastly different views on the American constitution (little c). Europeans also had a shared intellectual origin via the Greeks/Romans and developments in Christendom. Our government can't function when we import people from nations that have never had a functioning government
Culture (topic of this fantastic article). Meanwhile eliminate borders and religion. Then replace culture with another and replace religion with government. Government then becomes the god of the masses.
I enjoyed your article and agree with it up to a point. I do believe we have a serious problem with migrants, but also with our government and culture. Up until 60 yrs ago or so, immigrants had to be productive or starve. As result of this there are places that were not only settled, but thrived. Their only choice was to succeed and to do that they had to learn and adapt to the American culture. Even today if you look at the statistics the average first generation immigrant from Africa or Asia earns more than the average native. This falls quickly as the generations become Americanized until by the 3rd generation they are below average.

Could it be because we’ve dumbed down the culture so much?
That’s certainly a part of it, but we have also become a lazy/easy society.
yet here we are with a government reluctant to proclaim a national language. babel redux?
But there wasn’t any prevailing tribal system was there? Many different tribes roamed the land.
Yes, I discovered this after listening to this fresh air segment https://www.npr.org/2011/05/20/136438816/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-comanche-empire and found this interesting https://thespectator.com/uncategorized/myth-stolen-country-america-new-world/ and various articles on Quora of settler history in dealing with natives.
