Does bill grant license to vote illegally?

Whenever border debates became contentious, I remind myself of a saying — a cliché perhaps, but a good one — from an old friend. “We don’t need fewer immigrants,” he would say. “We need more Americans.” This view — one that welcomes immigrants and their culture, but encourages them to assimilate — faces two different threats these days.

The first is obvious. It is the ugly nativism displayed by a certain GOP presidential candidate adept at exploiting grievances. But there’s another, less-discussed danger. Some politicians, in Democratic hothouses such as Sacramento, try to erase some meaningful distinctions between citizens and noncitizens. That turns the nation’s motto (E pluribus unum) on its head — from “out of many, one” to “out of one, many.”
