Old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it.
Ironically, Rome's prior greatness had been due to the extension of citizenship to diverse people throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia.
Such fractious diversity had led to unity around the idea of Rome.
The unity of these diverse peoples fused into a single culture that empowered Rome.
One, America is enriched at its cultural periphery by the food, fashion, art, music, and literature of immigrants.
Two, people vote with their feet to emigrate to America.
A diversity of immigrants also ensures that no one particular ethnic or political tribe seeks to use immigration to further divide the nation.
In sum, the old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it.
