President Obama hosts a citizenship ceremony for immigrants who signed up to serve in the military.

Folks, he's actually promoting the Human Alien Breeding Program. There Main logo is "strength through diversity."

[englishman]

If diversity is a strength then why do people keeping saying it's a strength wouldn't people already know that.

Diversity is NOT what has made the USA great. It is the Bill of Rights/ United States Constitution, and the rule of law. People from all over the world who respect and appreciate those values and assimilate making them legal American citizens.

Yes diversity is good as long as the immigrants come here LEGALLY!!! I cannot believe hes promoting people to break the law.

[GameHead]

This is a weak argument for illegal immigration.

what is up with the long advertisements? Keep the Mexicans in Mexico it is that simple. Mexico is not poor, or suffering there is no excuse.

who's suppose to teach these kids English? What schools are they going to? How long are we taking care of these kids before they get put in the foster care system. 
Is splitting the kids from their real parents even moral when they have no idea where they will go or what system they will end up in and tests they will have to under go!

Consider some of the great minds of human history, and it’s striking how few were educated in a diverse environment. Newton, Galileo and Einstein had little exposure to Asians or Africans. The genius of Aristotle, Socrates and Plato cannot be easily correlated with the number of non-Greeks with whom they chatted in the town square. If diversity is essential to education, let us get to work dismantling historically black and women’s colleges.
Similarly, we’re constantly told that communities are strengthened by diversity, but liberal Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam has found the opposite. In a survey that included interviews with more than 30, 000 people, Putnam discovered that as a community becomes more ethnically and socially varied, social trust and civic engagement plummet.

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department. 😂😂😂

Diversity just means anything but white, male, Christian, conservative, and heterosexual sir and that means Diversity in it’s current political context is a racist and sexist point of view actually.

Stockholm’s ghettos and Paris’s banlieues, have had high sustained levels of immigration and a pronounced inability to integrate immigrants. This means the persistence of ethnic enclaves — and a sense of separatism, on both sides of the street, that goes along with them. Continued steady immigration from Mexico and Spanish-speaking points south including for Hispanic immigrants and their descendants already here means it is likely in the long run to make our society less productive, prosperous, stable and cooperative. Those are facts.

Economists Matthew Kahn of UCLA and Dora Costa of MIT reviewed 15 recent studies in a 2003 paper, all of which linked diversity with lower levels of social capital. Greater ethnic diversity was linked, for example, to lower school funding, census response rates, and trust in others. Kahn and Costa's own research documented higher desertion rates in the Civil War among Union Army soldiers serving in companies whose soldiers varied more by age, occupation, and birthplace.
Birds of different feathers may sometimes flock together, but they are also less likely to look out for one another. "

Hell yeah Obama give it up for the immigrants!

[daughterofgod]

I want to know what's the REAL reason behind all of this...Something in my spirit is telling me something isn't right

[daughterofgod]

Hey Obama, my family and neighbors are struggling in Jamaica. There's drug gangs and extortion there. If Hispanics can come here, can they (Jamaicans) come here ILLEGAL RIGHT NOW

[louieduval]

Why did this interview show a photo or video shot of these "top immigrants"???

[tennesseetennesseeaintnopl]

Now, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity was an old, old wooden ship used during the Civil War era

0:37 again America is special... oh God bless this Aryan nation:D

Immigration works well when there are jobs a plenty.. If unemployment is very low then encourage more workers. Flooding them in and then trying to figure out what to do is only creating more issues than you can solve. But we are all one. No matter what religion..what race we are all the family of Earth. Wars should never play a part in our existence. If we have good Governments we will always have a good system. Do we?

[jbreezy]

I disagree with Obama on his first part of the speech. Africans never willfully migrated here, and although yes we are a nation of immigrants we need to understand that fact.

[Earth]

Agree with all he said, but Americans do speak one language, which is English, no matter where they came from. That's something common too.
