The blanket statement that all immigration is bad is just an L take, and you know it.  
  
Yes, homogeneous cultures tend to have fewer internal problems.
  
What made America a great nation was the ability for people to ASSIMILATE into it and the expectation that they did or suffer consequences.
  
The rise of multiculturalism started to shift American culture towards a pluralistic society that welcomed immigrants and had them celebrate and embrace their countries of origin AHEAD of the United States.

At some point, we gave up on “coercing” people to abandon their original country to become Americans. I would argue that that was likely in the wake of the civil rights movement in the 60s.

Anecdotally, my father is Filipino. He was born in Manila, immigrated to Toronto, naturalized as a Canadian, then moved to the United States on a green card. He then naturalized as a United States citizen. He’s now as patriotic as they come, and doesn’t even speak the Filipino language.

In the 70s and 80s, Asian immigrants faced high levels of racism from the existing United States population. Thus, they strove in every way to emulate American culture, adopting their fashion, language, and values. While my father’s family remained ethically Filipinos, they came to view themselves as Americans first and foremost.

It was when the existing culture stopped being racist (and stopped holding immigrants feet to the fire to assimilate) that things began to go awry. Progressive movements in academia and the corporate world began to push for acceptance of non-assimilated immigrants.

Most of this problem is jewish in origin. White guilt is their invention. the white populace has not been able to stop their control of the media, academia and finance world that has been so detrimental to society.
