This country faces cultural assimilation differences without any spine. We expect outcomes based on false paradigms, we expect that immigrants share American mores about cleanliness, share American respect for recycling and using waste disposal units whether cans or dumps. We expect facility users from countries without modern toilets and kitchens and American strict personal hygiene rules to know their importance which is an automatic fail. It’s like expecting a baby to change its own diaper and dispose of it and its contents properly; its like owning a hotel and accepting that bed bugs are normal; it’s like driving a car and ignoring speed limits, traffic lights and road signs; it’s like standing in a lightning storm and not understanding lightning is drawn to you on iron infused rocks. It’s like pooping and peeing in a creek and then swallowing some of its water while swimming and playing in it…it’s like pooping and peeing in a public bathroom and failing to flush and wash after use…it’s like pooping and peeing and then going back to the kitchen to fix or serve food. That’s just poop and pee, want to discuss daily teeth brushing and cleaning, soap, deodorant, washing hair, cleaning and changing clothes, full immersion bathing, lice, litter, changing sheets and towels, food spoilage guidelines, petty theft, domestic abuse, religious tolerance, spousal rights, civil rights, personal responsibility, arbitration of disagreements.

America is unique in the world because its religious and civil and ultimately its triad government system believes in and strives in theory to practice common goals of community responsibility, equality of all in the pursuit of health, wealth and happiness. To have rungs on these ladders, everyone must personally accept responsibility to educate others by example. It’s imperative for everyone’s good.

I believe that no government system designed to reflect its citizens can do more than the citizens it reflects.

We have same problems like touristas not welcome causing great upset here. I;m exchange teacher and internet teacher of English now. English is difficult language and we are pruod to learn it, Spanish not a language to further mathematicians or scientists study. We do not mind that language is flexible. Language is tool and not identity. Language is for flexible. Learn other languages. Grow with confidence.
