This is exactly how ethnic nationalism in America becomes normalized. Reminds me of the kid who protested in Charlottesville explaining that he wasn't a racist, he just really hated mass immigration and the ensuing diversity after 1965 (which was when immigration became accessible to non Europeans..).

This is an actual slippery slope. Proposing drastic cuts to legal immigration would have gotten laughed out of the mainstream Republican party in the Reagan-Bush-Dole-Bush era.

Sounds like you're preaching censorship, both of speech and of research. Is this really the position you want to take?
