Mac Donald added that the large amount of immigration could lead to cultural assimilation woes.
"This is nothing new, but Americans have turned their eyes away and have bought into the narrative that the more diversity, the better, the more demographic change, the better," she said.
Mac Donald added that a cap on the number of people allowed to come into the United States could be beneficial in the long term.
"Well, for assimilation, a cap would definitely be necessary. We saw that with the long decades after maximal immigration at the turn of the century, when we did halt immigration. And that allowed the assimilation to go on, that it did. With nonstop immigration coming in, you're running a losing race to assimilate. So that would absolutely be ideal."
"We should reform the agriculture sector. You know, we have temporary worker programs for that, and whether we want to carve out any exceptions to a moratorium for very, very high-skilled workers, that is definitely worth considering. But certainly for chain migration, the bringing in of remote family members, that should be ended now until we are confident that we are creating Americans and not people who will get out in riots and wave flags of non-American countries," Mac Donald continued.

"We are a proud city of immigrants, and with the Trump Administration signaling that they will ratchet up their chaotic approach, I’m making sure we deploy every resource and tool available within the City to ensure that we are supporting immigrant communities," Bass said recently, according to a news release.
When it comes to potential civil unrest in other cities, Mac Donald says it could happen.
"I think there will be civil unrest in other cities, because it was justified, it was trivialized by our elected leaders as, ‘Oh, we've got the situation under control,’" she said.
