The Founders intended the United States to be a white Christian nation. "Melting pot" was a term invented by people that wanted to change that, undermine us, weaken us, and gain power over us. It was the same kind of people that passed the immigration act of 1965, that changed U.S. immigration from majority white countries to majority non-white. They knew that diverse societies have weak bonds and much social strife, and they can manipulate and amplify those differences amongst the disparate tribes against one another while they gain greater control.
