Here's an example of how "the workers and their families who cross the borders are far more influential than even the destabilizing flow of goods from China"

"What makes Americans generally welcoming of immigrants, and what makes immigrants generally assimilable, is that this is a creedal nation, one dedicated to certain propositions, not one whose origins and identity are bound up with ethnicity. "

If we import a critical mass of people from a culture that does not have a "creedal" attitude about nationality at an "unassimilatable" pace, we risk losing that element of of our culture. I think losing that would be "destabilizing."
