How would this mechanism of determining an individual immigrant’s bandwidth work? Would we observe their native country’s “culture” and create a restrictions list? For instance would we say Cuba is a communist country, communism is antithetical to culture and values of America therefore no one from Cuba is allowed to immigrate?
Discussion
I’m no good writer but the tdlr on my post
Is people doing all kind of advocacy to make immigration work have only been focussing on the superficial
When the difference is deep cultural definiton of fundamental concepts like respect or freedom
My suggestion is that If they wish to continue they should focus on initiatives that would ensure that new immigrant have a deep understanding of these fundamemtals instead of fake embracing their looks fashionable habits
My bandwith comment is about the immigrants who seem to come from a society who has completely different core belief yet adapt , a lot of times it’s mainly because they have the bandwidth to work on themselves and assimilate , which is something you can’t expect everyone else to do
I guess I don’t see immigration advocates being as superficial. In the US pro immigration groups tend be that way out of empathy or exploitation. Corporations that are immigrant advocates tend to care less about any deep cultural differences as long as it makes sense for the cheap labor. The more liberal minded groups can be pro immigration out of empathy from certain world situations. As far as how well a group assimilates I’m not sure that’s predictable. I also think, at least US culture ( which is what I can speak to) isn’t the culture monolith some pretend to be.
I wasn’t talking about a restriction list , this is more a theory on what the side who is advocating for immigration should focus on helping with , instead of pouring money on superficial theatrics that often lead to emergence of xenophobia from their own doing because of all the frictions
