> It’s time it leans on immigrants

Uncontrolled immigration without assimilation can have disastrous consequences. And assimilation is a polite way of saying "give up your culture and adopt ours."

Unfortunately, without assimilation, all the politics and problems of the homeland will follow the diaspora to the new host country. It has been seen time and time again:

- Italian and Irish emigration to the US

- Migration from the Indian subcontinent as well as Muslim countries of Africa and the Middle East into Europe and North America

If you cannot solve this but still want immigrants, the numbers have to be reduced massively and some kind of pause between waves will be required so that gradual assimilation can be achieved.
