“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil.

A couple of days ago I posted a comment to LastRedoubt’s thoughts on immigration that proposed some solutions to the current, massive, problem of immigration to Western nations that I think bears some expansion. Before digging into policy proposals designed to...
