One can certainly favor one's own culture; one's own lines of descent; compatible personality traits; etc., etc., without disparaging anyone else. There is an ocean of difference, in reason, between trying to preserve what is yours, and seeking to harm someone who is no threat to you. On the other hand, a sea of incongruous types pouring over the border, is very much a threat.
The hoopla, stirred up by the compulsion driven advocates of human uniformity--and scratch anyone of them, and you will find an advocate of some form of coercive internationalist world order--is simply a defense mechanism, useful to those who have no valid argument. In over fifty years of fighting the advocates of World Government, since my high school days; no one has ever offered a reasoned argument, why communities, tribes and nations should not seek to preserve cultures and institutions, which reflect the achievements of their own people. The only arguments offered are fear and compulsion driven.
We need to stop apologizing for the America that the Founding Fathers established, premised upon a complex, and by today's standards, profoundly Conservative view of the human experience. When some frothy mouthed Leftist calls you a "bigot," "racist," "nativist," or what have you, because you want to preserve your heritage for your descendants, laugh in his compulsion driven face. If insult is his only argument, he is intellectually bankrupt, and deserving only the contempt of rational men and women of every race and nation.

I think Mark Twain said it best “ Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.”
Our culture has been VERY successful in assimilating multi-cultures, however, we are being over run by an invasion of those we would not necessarily chose to add to our culture. In the past WE have chosen who could come to this country. As the most powerful, affluent, and influential, country in the world, we should STILL have the RIGHT to pick and choose who can come to this country-—NOT be forced to accept whatever can slime their way across the border!
