And we know that because we live in a non-loser country.

This is one of the strangest things that I hear.

We're hot now.

Well, but we are.

And we are the greatest country in the world.

And we're almost certainly the greatest country that there has ever been.

And there are people here from all different places and all different races.

And that's great.

And I'm an advocate of this.

But one of the things that I'm increasingly frustrated by from people who agree with me on this and who do think that immigration can be good and who do believe that America is a propositional nation that doesn't exclude anyone because of the country they were born in, is that if you believe that America is good, you also have to believe that other places aren't.

Now, that doesn't mean you think everywhere is terrible and America is the only good country in the world.

I'm not asking people to become Sam the Eagle.

But culture obviously matters.

And it doesn't grow up from the soil.

It's not the case that the moment you arrive in the United States, you're suddenly imbued with all of the presuppositions that make America

what it is.

You can't have one without the other.

You can't believe America is good, uniquely good even, that it has this great creed and that everywhere else is identical.

So we need to be careful about where we bring people in from and more to the point, we need to be careful about what we expect from them

when we get here, because if you suddenly replace the population of the United States with the population of other places, then the United States will become more like those other places unless you very assiduously demand, and that is the word, demand that they conform to America.
