1) I don’t care. You can go [back]. You’re telling me you can’t, but you can. You physically can. Not wanting to and not being able to are not the same thing.

2) “Other than our ethnicity, we are completely American in values, beliefs, culture, and language”. This statement doesn’t make sense.

3) You’re claiming to have completely assimilated. I don’t know if it’s true or not, I’ve only got your word. So you have forsaken your ancestral identity, you don’t speak other languages, you’re not Muslim, you don’t play racial politics or want special treatment, you consider yourself to be American? Okay, I put it to you that many immigrants/children thereof don’t assimilate. You seem to be beginning from the assumption that because you were born in America, that means you’ve assimilated. Hello, three of the four London bombers were born in England. They were born in England, but they obviously didn’t assimilate seeing how they wanted to blow the country up in the name of Islam to get revenge for their ethno-religious kin in Afghanistan and Iraq. What do you think we should do to determine who’s assimilated and who hasn’t?

4) Maybe you can stay. I’ve said this a thousand times; not letting people in and kicking people out are two different propositions. It’s a laughable fallacy the way I say “let’s stop letting in so many immigrants“ and people respond ”you can’t kick me out, I was born here!”. That’s not what I said.
