> There's only so many immigrants you can import before you lose your country's identity.

Is this true? The US has been doing this for over 100 years and it's been fine, I think. I mean, our countries identity has basically become "we're all immigrants" but that's not a new phenomena.

This is a very "New World" perspective which won't cut it for the "Old World" until their countries hit their own crisis points.

The US implemented severe immigration restrictions in the 1920s that were lifted gradually over the 1950s–1960s.
