I think we need to slow the pace of immigration, to preserve our culture.

[BubRoss]

To preserve what 'culture' exactly? When you say 'our' who are you referring to?

[billner]

Obviously he means the American culture and by our he means Americans. There's no denying that if immigration is high enough, and assimilation poor enough, culture will change very quickly. Not saying its the case in the US but it's simple to understand what he meant.

You don’t have a culture if it doesn’t change, you have an ideology.

[Yetanfou]

...but if you import an ideology into your culture you'll end up with escalating conflict. The refusal to see this has created something more akin to a powder keg than a melting pot (to paraphrase the old moniker) which has the - already partly realised - potential for some serious destruction.
