The US should take less immigrants so it doesn't get overpopulated to keep infrastructure from being overwhelmed and to retain its American culture and continue being a melting pot rather than becoming multicultural. Not to try to keep it more European when it was originally a land that was comprised of a variety of European immigrants initially and then started to take immigrants from other continents outside of Europe in the second half of the 20th century. The same applies to other former European colonies like Canada, Australia and New Zealand IMO.
