Fascinating philosophical angle on immigration that cuts through the usual binary. The Maritain quote about man as political animal grounds the entire argumen nicely. What really stuck with me was the point about assimilation needing a dominant culture to work, because I've seen that tension in my own city where neighborhoods exist almost as seperate enclaves. The virtue-centered framing shifts the debate from legal status to communal health in a way that's overlooked.
