The foreign born population is the highest it has ever been in the history of the country, both in total number and as share of the whole. Ever. Surpassing even the Ellis Island wave. We are in uncharted water. The last time we approached these levels, we stopped immigration cold for roughly 4 decades, and only by virtue of intense assimilation pressure––not to mention an existing dominant Anglo Protestant culture into which these new arrivals could be assimilated––plus the crucible of World War 2, did this eventually resolve itself. People who think our current circumstances can just be hand-waved away, or that anyone describing the trade-offs of mass immigration are moral degenerates and therefore beneath concern, are completely delusional. This is an issue that must be addressed head-on.
