Nations survive and thrive on common culture and identity. America protects itself from decay by promoting a cult-like support for the Constitution. This is not bad, on the contrary it is quite good, it allows our nation to protect the very rights it was founded on.
Immigration is both the bane and the life of this system. It allows the influx of new blood necessary to prevent decline, but it does not force that new blood to have the same respect for culture that native citizens have propagandized into them. Here enters the need for restriction on immigration, tests on knowledge of American history, civics, etc.
I want a compromise, there isn't any need for either racism or self-hatred, let in immigrants regardless of race or ethnicity, but only take those with an actual interest in assimilating to American culture.

Native American frowns upon your shenanigans.
