During the 45 years leading up to the Immigration Act of 1965, 10 million immigrants came to the United States, and by and large assimilated successfully into American culture. They fought with us in four wars, built our factories, enriched our culture, and helped make the United States the mightiest industrial empire on earth. But the onset of mass immigration in the 1960s overwhelmed the great American melting pot. Cultural institutions already under assault by liberals who despise our heritage were unable to assimilate the 30 million immigrants who flooded into the U.S. over the past three decades. Exploding crime statistics, swamped social services, and the rise of ethnic militancy tell the sad story. This year, 1.3 million more immigrants will pour into the U.S.-400,000 of them illegal aliens. If America is to survive as "one nation," we must take an immigration "time out" to mend the melting pot. As President, I will: Halt illegal immigration by securing our porous borders and strengthening internal enforcement. Stand with the three-in-four Americans who agree that mass legal immigration must be reduced by restoring the 20th century average of 250,000 to 300,000 immigrants per year. Support a national campaign of assimilation to teach newly adopted Americans our culture, history, traditions, and English language. To do otherwise cripples American cohesion and keeps the newest members of the American family from full participation.
