Immigration is an oft-debated topic in the country’s political realm, even more so given President Joe Biden’s disastrous border security and immigration policies. It is just one of the many issues voters in the nation are divided on. Many on the Left favor any immigration, anytime, for any reason. Conversely, people on the Right support immigration so long as it is done legally and immigrants follow all the necessary rules and regulations. Despite this division, most of the country’s voters appear to agree that immigrants should “embrace American culture.”
According to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, 66% of the country’s voters believe that “when people move to America from other parts of the world, they should adopt America’s culture, language and heritage.” This would seem to be common sense since this is typically how things occur in other countries worldwide. Anyone who has ever done a study abroad program or spent time in a foreign country knows this is the case. No logical or rational person would migrate to another country such as Spain, Italy, Germany, or France and not be expected to learn the language or the culture.

Unsurprisingly, the respondents’ results were largely divided along political ideologies. Rasmussen reported that 82% of Republican voters think immigrants should be obligated to adopt “America’s culture, language, and heritage.” Comparatively, only 53% of Democrats shared this sentiment. The division is to be expected. However, the poll’s most significant finding was that 66% of unaffiliated voters agreed with immigrants conforming — an encouraging sign that common sense transcends political divide.
When people relocate to another country, they become part of that country. They can still hold on to their own faith and heritage. However, by immigrating and taking up residence somewhere else, they decide to become part of a different nation, society, and culture. This should not be controversial in any way. Yet, for some reason, in the United States this commonsense idea is not universally embraced. If they don’t want to do that, then they shouldn’t immigrate.
