[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether legal or illegal, it isn’t good for us to just open the floodgates and let whoever wants to gush in. It needs to be a measured flow, and sadly that means not everyone will be able to come.

Levels must be controlled in order not to strain resources. Too many new workers at once put downward pressure on wages and standards.

Also, I do not want us to become like London.
We are a diverse control but we do share culture and values and it’s not good to have people coming in who have no interest in assimilating.[/quote]

We already have millions of new or recent immigrants who have no interest in assimilation of any kind.  It’s a stark contrast to the immigrants of longer ago that made the U.S. the “melting pot”. We haven’t been melting in decades.  The immigrants from different regions and countries are not mingling at all either. [/quote]

Perhaps there is some fear of assimilation and some fear of mingling stopping people.  But I think that street goes both ways.  There's a lot of white flight from public schools, neighborhoods, churches, etc.  Yeah, maybe new immigrants need to try a little harder, but I'd say so do all of us.  I work with refugees and they LOVE getting to know people outside their circle, but it is hard for them to make connections.  [/quote]
