You can&#x27;t ignore the fact that, statistically, those outside the U.S. and certain other countries have many attitudes and values we don&#x27;t want to encourage in the U.S., at a higher rate than the prevalence of those attitudes within the country. Of course you can&#x27;t impose ideological tests to get into the U.S. Which is all the more reason to limit immigration to what you can comfortably assimilate.<p>As an immigrant myself I&#x27;m really thankful for our melting pot policies. Life will be better for my daughter growing up surrounded by American attitudes. Had our family immigranted en masse with a million other Bangladeshi families, she might very well have been deprived of that.
