Maybe 'cohesive culture' wasn't a very accurate term for me to use ... I was thinking more of a cohesive vision, a common idea, and a commitment to the new country. That doesn't preclude retaining aspects of one's former culture, it just means not keeping one's former country first in one's loyalty and commitment. I agree that a country can benefit greatly from the positive contributions of other cultures.
I have no idea why you think that 'America ... now fears immigrants and therefore must import immigrants illegally'. The first clause isn't true and the second doesn't make sense. America welcomes legal immigrants and has the right to enforce her own laws.
