Church & Immigration

I've noticed from moving town to town, with my military father, there are many churches of different background. Though the USA was/is built by immigrants, over time those churches unite and become one. I've come to find also that many immigrants take to Christianity specifically. It doesn't matter if they came from China, Japan, Mexico, or Africa; all of the people I have met try to conform through that specific religion. It's not a true calling to the religion or anything it because the church has it's social things organized and such. I can understand why people would conform to this religion (sadly), there's so much you can do and learn from the Christians social programs. You can be introduced to neighbors making it easier to make friends. I understand it's all put there to help or what not. What I don't agree with is how immigrants feel like that's their golden ticket into becoming an "American". Heck, most of us don't know what being an "AMERICAN" is even about or at least we all can't agree on anything. I just don't think immigrants should HAVE to feel that way....What's the point of being free when you have to bend over backwards when you finally get to your destination?

I wish, as Americans, we could all open our arms and welcome everyone. Hope that they are bringing something awesome to the mixing pot and support love, not hate. As Americans, I believe we can and will be better than the older countries because people do care about each other, people do have love to give, and need love to take.
