Sensible article on immigration

Unread post

Being somewhat conflicted on the topic of immigration, I found this article in July's Atlantic to clarify things for me. The author, Perter Beinhart, identifies as a liberal. The magazine gives a summary statement of the article as follows: "In the past decade, liberals have emphasized diversity over unity, and avoided inconvenient truths about immigration. It's time to address Americans' yearning for social cohesion." Beinhart concludes that had Hillary Clinton not ceded so much ground to Trump on the matter of unity, she would be president today. It's not that long an article, and really well done, IMO.

There are few true liberals or conservatives left.
The majority are either globalists or nationalists.
