Frederick Douglass had a speech on the US, partially focused on Chinese immigration during a time when that was a big thing.
Our geographical position, our relation to the outside world, our fundamental principles of government, world-embracing in their scope and character, our vast resources, requiring all manner of labor to develop them, and our already existing composite population, all conspire to one grand end, and that is, to make us the perfect national illustration of the unity and dignity of the human family that the world has ever seen.
That's a vision of America I can endorse. It's backed by this Bloomberg interview about immigration.
