> you think immigrants need more time to assimilate so they don't change your culture but you still think immigration is good then it seems like you'd be against this change.

It reduces the number of immigrants, which facilitates assimilation and reduces the capacity of immigrants to change american culture.

The point is that it’s not just “immigrant” versus “anti-immigrant,” because immigrants themselves are split in views.

There’s an assumption baked into your statement: that the government they left is unrelated to the “culture.” That’s hotly debated.

My parents grew up in Bangladesh, and both of them believe that Bangladesh is the way it is because of our culture. Their views on immigration thus are nuanced. They think we should treat immigrants well, obviously. But they are pretty alarmed by Little Bangladesh and the ethnic enclaves that exist now, which didn’t really exist in the 1980s when we came here.
