Controversial University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax is back in the news for recent remarks about the dangers of “cultural-distance” immigration.
Wax spoke about the dangers of cultural change when immigrants come from third-world countries with different cultural values, report Vox and the New Yorker. She was among speakers at the National Conservatism Conference who disavowed racism even as they said that immigrants from Western countries would better support American values.
Critics seized on Wax’s remarks about two schools of thought on immigration and assimilation. The New Yorker had detailed coverage and quotes.
