When Ellis Island was open we screened immigrants for 2 things, health and skills.

Now we have smallpox popping up in some places, human heartworms, and a preponderance of the unskilled.

Why did the greatest country on Earth abandon selectivity and become a nation which no longer teaches excellence and hard work, but rather stresses government assistance and tolerance?

It seems to me that you welcome those who add, and tolerance only exists (is necessary) when that you don't want is foisted upon you!

It is because we must stress tolerance that we are no longer the greatest nation.
It is because we no longer screen for health that the CDC has gained ridiculous power.
It is because we no longer pursue excellence that the middle class is under duress.
It is because we no longer look for skills we need that we are ass deep in crime!

Every one of those issues stems from corrupt government!
