The problem with immigration is that it can never be undone. There is no Ctrl-Z with immigration. Germany would for instance never get rid of the non-assimilating Turkish population.

That is why immigration policy needs to be conservative - even if it means that you reject some people who would make excellent citizens.

You have to get it right the first time.

You can think of no time in Germany's history when they tried something like this?

That's exactly the reason why this won't happen again: they (and the rest of the world) learned a very painful lesson.
