This would suggest that we should accepts very few (if any) immigrants from countries that have cultures very different from our own.

Listen I'm glad you edited your previous comment I replied to, but you are really making a habit of building up arguments that no one is making. Things are starting to get awfully disingenuous here, and I'll leave it at that. Moving on.

How many times have you called customer service for any company, and upon receiving someone who is obviously outsourced overseas on the line, are you as happy as you would be if you received someone who spoke plain English, and was likely from North America? If you are like almost every single person who has experienced this, likely not. Does that make you racist? Does it make you exclusionary? No, because it's for none of those reasons that you are unhappy - you're unhappy because there is a language barrier, so conveying your feelings can be difficult (and that's as an adult, imagine being a young child where explaining things is already difficult...), and due to a culture gap, they can not relate or empathize with you in any way. This is not a detriment on behalf of the foreign entity in this scenario, nor of the American caller, but just the realities that come with living half-way across the world, and having had a very, very different reality and upbringing. Why is it okay to face these facts when it comes to troubleshooting our internet connection, but when it comes to raising our children its suddenly viewed as being somehow bigoted.

First, choices about the values in "children's education and upbringing" isn't the business of the government, it's the business of parents.

That's fine, and again this is a point that I wasn't making at all, so I would appreciate if you would stop doing that please. My point is that if a family feels this is important for the enrichment of little Timmy's life, as is their prerogative, it does not mean that my tax dollars should be taken from a family where daycare itself isn't even close to an option, to fund services and programs to help provide yuppies with a luxury service.

Following this through, this would mean we should radically reduce immigrants places like Africa and take more immigrants from more places like Europe and Australia that have more similar cultures.

Is this what you were suggesting?

Again, I'm going to ask you to refrain from putting words in my mouth. If you can't do that, and tone the hyperbole down, I won't discuss with you any further. To answer your question, despite it being obvious; no, that is not what I am suggesting at all. I'm talking specifically about childcare workers, but either way this could easily apply to other professions. Would you be upset if a city didn't want to hire a temp worker from China because they could hardly speak English, and just generally doesn't understand North American culture at all? Probably not.
