Possibly, although the Melting Pot concept is hardly a creation of the right. But isn't it usually the left who are big advocates of maintaining the cultural differences of the various immigrant communities?
Besides whose domestic culture should these oafish immigrants be assimilating into? Yours or mine or somebody elses? After all you and I agree on some things but in many more we do not, so what exactly defines the American culture model is not very clear.
In any case diversity advocates ought to remember that cultural assimilation is two way street. That which goes into our melting pot is blended in, not destroyed.
