Because I have no desire for a repeat of the 1940s, if that's what's coming our way. And it seems to be. I don't like human suffering, and the sympathy generated has been wielded as a terrible weapon since.
We look a little more Weimary each day. If we have a sufficient economic shock to kick things off, I could easily see tensions overflow, and a full scale rejection of multiculturalism. I think balkanization may be the more likely option, and there are large swathes of the country that are homogeneous enough that ethnonationalism could take root without much displacement (which is the most moral national arrangement). If things burn too hot, though, out-groups are going to need a place flee. If there's nowhere for them to go, that's when terrible things might happen. That wouldn't benefit anyone.
