"The country's balkanizing because we're being overwhelmed. Political correctness doesn't help either but immigration at moderate levels would diminish its effects somewhat."

Why isn't this being stressed when people discuss building a wall linked with a policy of assimilation. We might not come off as being so hate filled and exclusionary. As it stands now with the prevailing attitude of keep everybody out and throw out the "bums" nothing meaningful will be done.
Repeating the phrase "keep everybody out" doesn't make it true that's how most people feel. Very few are saying that, it's about keeping illegals out. I've no interest in assimilating them, that to me would be surrender at this point. They need to be deported as we welcome legal immigrants only into the country.
