The first one is...
Do you all think the separation of religion and politics/government in the United States of America is poorly dealt with nowadays? I mean, The first amendment, if that is the right one, says that religion and politics/the government should be separate and they are not supposed to mix with each other in the United States. However, in many cases, like with the GOP, or republican party (but not limited to those), it seems many politicians in the country seem to incorporate their views, which are religion based, in politics in some way. I remember someone here mentioning a group with religious views in the 70s that said they were pro-life and got many people to vote republican back then. If I recall correctly, that was all a mix between politics and religion. Shouldn't that not be happening, and if it should not, do you all think that the government is doing poorly in upholding the separation of religion and the government like they should?
The second thing is, is the country of the United States, mainly its majority, the white people, afraid of immigration?
I mean, as the majority, white people have so much power in some way, and while I am not completely sure how the majority and minority thing works well, I am sure that can change well if another race/ethnic group becomes the majority. I learned in history class in high school that in the future, (this was back in the 2000s, by the way), Hispanics will one day become the majority of the United States. If that is still true, which I am sure it is, I think the majority of the United States that is the Caucasian people, or whites, do not want that happening, and may try to prevent that, as they will lose power if that happens. Now, this is probably not THE only reason for immigration regulation in the USA, but I think a possible reason for regulating immigration and all the laws and such that come with it is to prevent a majority change. I could be wrong, but that is what I think so far.
So, what do you all think of all this? Feel free to let me know, and point out if I am wrong on anything.
