"But as a nation we have the right to determine who get to come and who gets to stay."

There is no such right. Nations don't have rights. Only individuals have rights.

"The problem with unfettered immigration is when too many come from a single culture and see no reason to assimilate."

So what? There's not even a single culture within the United States, or any of its 50 states, or any of the thousands of municipalities for that matter.

"For our country to succeed we need to have a cultural identity."

(a) No, that is not true. To the extent a collective concept (like a "country") can even succeed, it will succeed based on protection of individual rights and free markets, that's all that is needed. (b) Do poorer "countries" not have a cultural identity?

"I know it is old fashioned but the old melting pot theory is much superior to the modern salad bowl theory that is being suggested today."

You're not even for a melting pot, you realize that right?
