This letter was in the Arizona Republic today. I wish many more people felt this way. DP
Regarding "Foundation of America is crumbling" (Letters, Saturday):
azcentral.com: American politics might be causing the crumbling but not the culture. American culture has constantly been in flux as new immigrants arrive on the shores of this great country - the Irish, the Swedes, the Germans, the Mexican, the Polish, the Italians, the Chinese, the Koreans and so on - and whenever a new nationality arrives, we adapt, incorporate and harmonize the new milieu into what now becomes a different American culture than previous to the influx.
American culture is not static but fluid and not stagnant but refreshing. Let us carpe diem - seize the day - of opportunity to rejoice with our immigrants.
We will only be sorry if and when they leave, and that's not just Mexicans but also Koreans, Polish, Russians and a large list of immigrants who have come to build this country into what it is always becoming. - Gale D. Schmidt, Phoenix
