Viking Rule #2. Move here, assimilate into our culture.
How do you define "our culture"? As you've no doubt noticed over the years, the definition of American culture changes fluidly. Given the first amendment which allows for freedom of speech and the right of assembly, how do you control for what American culture is?
I sense, however, that at the core of your rule is the ideal that everyone speak English. I tend to agree that capable communication makes one a more beneficial member of society, and allows for more tolerance, empathy and understanding, as well as marginally greater safety.
That being said, communication can happen in many ways. Given that we are living in a more and more multi-cultural world, wouldn't it stand to reason that Americans should become multi-lingual like the rest of the world that keeps passing us by in terms of education standards?
