Immigrants need to show patriotism

I am not an “Anglo-Protestant” but a patriotic American from South Korea, and I disagree with Joe Rodriguez’s column (“Immigration now cultural issue,” @issue, March 30).
I believe immigrants in this country need to stop and think what we cando for the United States, rather than our former countries. America is a land of opportunity — but for those who put America first, not for anyone deteriorating the core value.
I urge immigrants to be more patriotic for the United States, as we will be a majority of the nation by 2050. If not, America can no longer be the land of opportunity but become a country like where we came from.
