Great article. I'd add a couple of things. First, these foreign brown folks come from a different culture and speak a different language. That is ABSOLUTELY changing America. I could write 20 pages about why this is exactly what makes America great. I'll relate a real incident I experienced. First, let's remember that "foreign folks invading and changing America" has been true in white man history since 1400, when the Spanish showed up. My neighbor is a REAL local. Their history tells of 4 different Native American tribes taking over their valley and changing their culture, then the Spanish, then Americans, and he says it's a positive, not a negative, they long ago embraced change.
OK, real story that explains the USA. In 1990, I was made 2nd in charge of an international complex industrial facility. Our American company had been sold to a French company. The French company commanded us all to increase diversity. I remember their exact words, "whenever possible, hire the qualified individual who is most different than your team".
Most supervisors groused about it. I fully embraced it. The first guy I hired, I introduced the opposite of normal. I didn't say "This man doesn't know our operation, everyone help him". Instead, I said "This man comes from a totally different operation, let's all learn from him what they did better".
Soon, I was worried. Our facility was stable so the company began robbing my good hands for new start-ups. As I added new staff, the fighting began. Within 2 years, meetings became shouting matches and pandemonium. Nobody got alone. Everyone hated the "increase diversity" order, but I knew something they didn't, which I began sharing. Since I'd begun increasing diversity, our profits went up 10% a year and our maintenance budget dropped 10% and our downtime had dropped to 2 hours a YEAR. I told the team our results, and please scream and fight and shout more, call me at 2 AM if you are ready to get physical, and rest assured that bonuses will be proportional to our diversity, however painful it is. My fully diverse team changed that day. They still shouted at each other, but it was no longer negative, it was like a sports team ribbing each other, and they worked even tighter and profits soared.
So, I say bring on all these goofy foreign people, the more the better. The only change I'd make is please, rather than just let them in, can't we insist the donor country take a few NaziREpublican Party cultists in trade? We could pay them.
Their warped beliefs because of religion will fade. Religion can't survive in a well educated society.
