Those that want "everyone to work together as one" for "the good of America" are either BS politicians or those who simply don't understand the democratic form of government.
No, it is not. A dictator runs by his own dictates so to say...There is no separation of authority as provided by our Constitution which proposes a republic and not a true democracy.

I think one should worry more when people are lining up to get out of a country rather than into it.

If they're sneaking in, we must be doing something right.
