Conservative Analyst Sean Davis on Immigration: There is a Difference Between Becoming an American and Just Living in America (VIDEO)

Sean Davis, the conservative writer and political analyst of The Federalist, recently appeared on the Charlie Kirk podcast and made an outstanding point about immigration.

While Davis said that he does not believe that we should shut down immigration altogether, he pointed out that there is a world of difference between someone who comes to America to be an American, and the people who come here to simply live in America and take advantage of all of the things that country has to offer.

He also points out, correctly, that America does not need people who come here to simply live here.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

SEAN DAVIS: I believe this radical thought that stems from the Constitution, the Declaration, that America exists to secure the blessings of liberty for Americans, which is to say America exists for Americans.

Now, does that mean we should never, ever let anyone in again, ever, from a foreign country? No. But it does mean that America needs to stay American.

And you reach a certain point with immigration where the numbers get so high that you have a tipping point where the people who are coming in are no longer becoming American. What they are doing is becoming people who just live in America.

And you can see this in the cultural practices they retain. You can see this in where they are sending their money via remittances.

So many — such a high percentage of people who are coming in do not see themselves as American. They see themselves still as Indian. They see their roots as Indian. They are not willing to assimilate into our culture, and that is how you destroy a culture.

So you might ask, well, who cares? You know, America’s awesome, and let them make money. Who cares about the culture?

The culture is why we are better than everyone else. That is an objective statement. If we weren’t better than everyone else, everyone else wouldn’t be trying to come here.

America invented the automobile and the airplane. We split the atom. We created the aircraft carrier. We make computers and the internet. We put rockets in space. We put a man on the moon. Other countries did not do this. Americans did this. People like Homer Hickam from West Virginia did this.

So I want everyone else to understand: We don’t actually need you here. We have been the best country in all of history without you.

He stated that perfectly. There’s really nothing to add.
