this is the specific position. there are extra clauses here, please read with nuance.https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/991523550434676737 …

The nuance really comes across as 'i only want Good Immigrants who know their place and won't try to assimilate too much, even though I just said not assimilating was a problem'
-
I don't know how you're coming up with this hostile reading. My own family's immigration experience involved trying really hard to assimilate and leave the old world identity behind. That certainly resulted in some harmful side effects. Seeking a balanced approach has merits.
-
Trying too hard to not assimilate is also harmful. I agree with
@mimeticvalue that immigrant families have an unusual burden to both preserve original culture and assimilate new culture. it's really hard to do and going out of balance has negative consequences. -
Thanks. This is the essence of what I'm getting at.
-
immigration is really hard and immigrants are incredibly brave people who are willing to face the unknown for a chance at a better future. they deserve our compassion and understanding of how hard what they're doing is. that immigration is actually common is incredible.
-
This is exactly why restricting immigration to Good Wise Submissive immigrants is bad, though.
-
Nobody said submissive. Submissive is the opposite of wise. You need to embody the wisdom of your home culture, transmit it, and acquire the wisdom of the new culture. This takes boldness and struggle.

here, https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/991523550434676737?s=20 … also atomization is absolutely a feature, not a bug, communities are to be treated with utmost wariness

once again, please read with more nuance. this isn't an anti-immigration hot take.
