I don't think this comment deserves to be dismissed so readily. Although I shudder to think about the xenophobia that could potentially motivate thinking along these lines, it is very much a fact that plenty of people have such concerns, and as such it is an important reason to enact barriers and one that I hadn't thought of before.

Are there any historical examples of large numbers of immigrants politically changing the country they immigrated to?

Every country in the Western hemisphere? India/Pakistan until the mid-20th century and under earlier Muslim rule? The entire Mediterranean under Rome? China after Khan?

This reminds me of an episode during my senior year of high school Model UN where a hapless delegate for Germany in the security council stood up and started on with a straight face "Germany has never invaded another country..." before being drowned out by peals of laughter and sitting down red-faced.

Umvi wasn't claiming that there were no examples, they were asking for examples.

All of the Americas?

That sort of thing could honestly be in the minds of the Powers that Be.

The positive spin for diversity in where your immigrants come from is that it is better for the culture if the participants have diverse backgrounds.
