Stuart, 
this statement:

&quot;they do not want to learn our American cultures and way of life&quot;

clearly illustrates the racist feelings that are behind these &quot;show me your papers&quot; laws. 
By saying &quot;our American cultures and way of life&quot; you are stating that YOUR culture is THE &quot;American&quot; culture and that if anyone wants to be an &quot;American&quot; they need to adhere to YOUR standards. 

This is not a fair statement when you consider what our country is supposed to be about. &quot;Americans&quot; are from EVERYWHERE, they speak hundreds of languages, they claim hundreds of cultural identities. 

And also, I&#039;m pretty sure that you contributed NOTHING to the &quot;creation&quot; of this great nation that you decided to include yourself in when you said &quot;we&quot;. You simply won the lottery when it comes to being born in the country that you are so proud to claim.
