First of all, before I state my opinion, I would like to say that anyone who disagrees with my opinion is closed minded. lol
While I am very pro-immigration, I was also offended at this commercial. I am also anti- illegal immigration. There are many, many Europeans who are educated and are needed in the job market, but the government will not even think about allowing them into the country as immigrants. They do want Iranians, and those from many Muslim countries, and the Mexican poor and uneducated illegal ones though.
But I wander away from the commercial. Showing people from different countries is fine, it's the different languages that is offensive. The Italians, Irish, and others who came here, came to be Americans, What we have now are groups who want this to be a nation of Chinese-Americans, Iranian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, with their country and language first. I mean it's to the point where most Americans don't know who our fist president was, or that we are based on a capitalistic system. How will we survive if our own citizens don't know about our country, much less us being a group of citizens of "different countries." In the past we have always been headed toward one America. We are now headed toward a boatload of Americas.
I want immigrants who want to be Americans. This does not mean one cannot honor their heritage, all should do that.That is very important. However, I would never think of immigrating to another country such as Italy and demanding they change their ways to what I had here. I would go there to adopt into their country,
