If America has to accept global immigration and become majority minority, then so does Africa, Latin America, Asia, Israel etc. I'm all about reciprocity and fair is fair. If it's good enough for America then it's good enough for every other country.
What I really want most of all is no new citizenship being given to immigrants and those not born to a US citizens. And any immigrant and long term visas reflect the national origins and demographics of America.

One other way to combat this "better life" crap argument while preventing "brain drain" from "developing nations" that really need to hang on to any brilliant or talented people that they have, is to require that such a policy stipulate that the exchanging immigrants must be equal in socioeconomic status. So if you want to import a Nigerian medical doctor - then you gotta persuade an American medical doctor to go to Nigeria.
That way both the citizens of both nations are protected from what would otherwise be unfair harm or benefit caused by an unequal exchange of human capital.
Think of it like a "Balanced Trade Policy" but for Immigration.
