Megyn Kelly and Will Kingston cut to the heart of a truth too many in the political class refuse to acknowledge: a country that welcomes newcomers must also insist those newcomers join the American experiment, not remake it. When people arrive and make no effort to learn our language, adopt our customs, or respect our laws, they create parallel societies that strain schools, hospitals, and neighborhoods. That is not xenophobia — it is common-sense patriotism and respect for the millions who came before and did the hard work of assimilation.
We are a nation built on shared values: individual liberty, the rule of law, and a culture that rewards work and responsibility. Immigration that encourages dependence, tribalism, or cultural isolation undermines those principles and hands victories to the very elites who want to hollow out our country. Conservatives are not against immigrants; we are for an immigration system that serves the national interest, secures the border, and admits people likely to succeed and contribute.
The left’s refusal to call out cultural incompatibility is a political choice, not a moral one. They would rather virtue-signal than defend the civic glue that holds diverse Americans together, because the chaos benefits their power agenda. It’s past time for leaders to stop pretending assimilation is optional and start putting policies in place that encourage integration — English instruction, civic education, and merit-focused admissions should be the baseline.
Local communities are bearing the consequences while elites pontificate from gated enclaves and coastal studios. Teachers overloaded with non-English-speaking students, emergency rooms jammed by uncompensated care, and neighborhoods reshaped without consent are not abstract problems; they are the real-world fallout of deliberate policy failures. Responsible governance means listening to those citizens and restoring order, not silencing those who point out the damage.
Conservative solutions are practical and patriotic: enforce the law at the border, end catch-and-release, prioritize skilled and assimilable migrants, and fund robust integration programs. We can be compassionate without being reckless — a sovereign nation decides who enters and under what terms. That balance protects liberty, preserves opportunity for working Americans, and honors the legacy of those who sacrificed to make this country what it is.
Megyn and Will are doing something rare in modern media: speaking plainly about problems Americans see every day. Call it blunt, call it uncomfortable, but stop calling it hate — it’s the language of citizens who want their country to endure. If we love America, we will demand an immigration policy that strengthens our values, secures our future, and insists newcomers join us in the bargain.
