Fear of losing culture fuels immigration debate
Tagged: borderPosted on: December 4th, 2007
You must know what’s really driving the immigration debate. It’s the culture, stupid.
Immigration restrictionists — and by that, I mean those who want to limit all immigration, even the legal kind — like to pretend they’re so high-minded. Yet they can’t help themselves. They always take the low road and harken back to the nativism that greeted earlier waves of immigrants.
The restrictionists insist that what bothers them are merely practical concerns: that our borders aren’t secure, that so many immigrants are coming into the country illegally, and that the new arrivals are burdening schools and draining social services once they get here.”*
