Not to start a semantics debate, ^^ but I would say the 'melting pot' analogy is fine. It's the newer 'salad bowel' bullshit that needs to go. The idea behind the melting pot is that there is one cohesive culture forged of various elements and made stronger by them, like steel. Undesirable elements are purged in the smelt ^^
Culture cannot develop with all sorts of disjointed elements standing on their own. New peoples are welcome to bring their ideas and if appropriate they'll be incorporated into the larger culture. If not, they'll just become slag.
That's how it works in Japan ^^ Immigrants adopt Japanese culture or they have a VERY difficult time and end up leaving. Conversely, Japanese are happy to adopt and accept new ideas if they easily fit within prevailing culture.

You are correct. The melting pot of America is broken and done for. Once upon a time people came here and gave up parts of their former cultures in order to blend into and become whatever it is/was to be American. This doesn't happen anymore, at least not from those illegally entering or being given asylum/refugee status. These sub-cultures come in, deny our majority culture, denounce us as racists and demand special set asides to accommodate their culture. And stupid assholes who want votes force us via taxation to bend over backwards to accommodate them. Businesses also do this. If you happen to notice that these people want only to benefit from the perks of being physically located in the USA, while still being loyal to their former countries, you're a xenophobe racist hater. Go to almost any other country and protest for shit to be typed in your language, when that is not the countries language and see what you get.
Did you know that English is the national language in Belize? Can't have that in America, cause that is racist to expect people to learn English..
Something has to change.
