The American Dream
Martin Luther King invoked the American Dream in what is perhaps his most famous speech: "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream."
The American Dream is the belief that in the United States of America, hard work and determination can lead to a better life, usually through the earning of money. These were values held by many early European settlers, and have been passed on to the newer generations - including African Americans. The United States remains a magnet for immigrants today, receiving 1 million legal entrants annually — the largest influx in the world.
We ask this question, "If the U.S. becomes something along the lines of Mexico, do we all stand to lose something?"
As the Anglo-Euro population diminishes, why would people, who would under some peoples plans become voting American citisens, from alien cultures subscribe to the prescriptions of a Thomas Jefferson, or care about the legacy of Magna Carta? The Magna Carta is often a symbol for the first time the citizens of England were granted rights against an absolute king.
We will speak over the coming days of all those jobs that "Americans won't do". We take the position that these jobs were being done as recently as 15 years prior by Americans who worked as roofers, framers, drywallers, body, fender repairmen, truck drivers and janitors. Prior to the mass deluge, native-born minority citizens dominated these occupations and were able to sustain their families on their salaries.
