Why is it that the Americans seem to hold on to their identity and culture? You say American culture to me and I don't think of immigrants??? They must be doing something right.

The reason being is... Immigrants looking to reside in the USA have to pledge allegiance to the stars and stripes. That's why when you see such things as sporting events over there the immigrants or should I say American citizens seem to be more enthusiastic about supporting the adopted country then the ones who take up citizenship here! "USA USA" you can hear them scream "god bless America" they cry. And that's without such things as state benefits, health care, luxury housing, business grants etc etc...
That's what should happen over here, you should have to earn the right to be a British Citizen not take it as a natural entitlement. We should also adopt a one strike and you're out rule.... eg; F**k up and you're gone! No second chances!!! If you want to rob someone then you're on the first plane back from where you come from. None of this imprisoning them at the tax payer's expense only to let them out with a pocket full of money and a rap on the knuckles!!!
