That isn’t a bad question, but how do you police thoughts? Which thoughts are the “right thoughts”?
Furthermore, is coming from an area where certain thoughts are prominent enough to label them guilty by association? What if the whole reason you want to leave is because you don’t agree with it or want to live where you don’t have to adhere to all the stifling cultural norms (and adopt new ones! You thought covering your face was a hassle, wait until you try going out with out putting on your face, or not shave your pits!)
Does this mean I might be blocked in the future of even visiting the UK because they might assume I want to either shoot up the place, enslave their brown people, or drive a large truck with all the smog reducing parts removed?
I think ultimately, if one supports freedom one has to have the net loose enough, it means some undesirables will slip in. (Though to be clear there is, and should be, a net.) But lets be honest, there are even more undesirables living here that were born here. There is fear form people on the out side wanting to harm or change America, the fact is there are many more born here that want that - a wide spectrum too, not just people waiting for Jesus to come back and end it all.
The fact is, most people come here for the basic hope of having a better life for them and their kids than where they were. To have a better amount of opportunity. My Grandma I am sure fits the stereotype of a “non-English speaker who still practices some other culture instead of assimilating” for some part of her life. Though she was born in Texas and everything worked out ok in the end.
