One More Trip on the Immigration Merry-Go-Round

This post on immigration prompted a pair of fine, Chestertonian (in the sense of we the quiet people of England stuff) responses to which I think it’s only proper that I reply.

First, Carroll Barry-Walsh writes:

Of course, it’s the type of people we let in because there is a difference between letting in people who share our values, who want to – and take positive steps to – become British and discard those elements of their culture which are inconsistent with or hostile to our culture. And then there are those who simply come from the Third World and continue to live here as if they were still there but with more money. They don’t discard those cultural practices which are contrary to our values, to our laws; no – they demand that we accommodate them, that we tolerate the intolerable. That is what we don’t like and want to change.
