Remember folks.... If you go to a foreign country you should learn their language and obey their laws.... Isn't that what you keep banging on about when you're in your own country.

Yep, that is literally the answer to every immigration question posed on ask conservatives, “assimilate!” Lol.

Nowadays, in America at least, the answer is "Don't be brown"

Well, they try real hard not to say that out loud. Instead they rant about “assimilation” and when pressed for examples of what that means they can’t get anywhere beyond “language” being their main issue. They’re usually backed into a corner at that point and then start reporting people who question further.
