The US is experiencing a large influx of immigrants, about 5 to 6 million uninvited entrants expected beyond the usual million or so that have gone through the regular process.
This is a tactical exception in the internal struggles going on in the US between ers of our original theory of government and those who seek a centralized socialism controlled by a single party.
This will probably end soon because it isn't working out as the socialists hoped it would. The first 20 to 30 million immigrants in this scheme are starting to shift their party allegiances to the original ideas that help preserve individual freedom in this country. They used to the socialists by 80+%, this election they and other groups the socialists have relied on are expected to vote 40 to 50% for the "Constitutional" faction, (currently called "Make America Great Again").
Similar trends are appearing in Europe and the non-Chinese, non-Russian parts of northern Asia and if you are reading this, there's a good chance you have some personal experience with it.
For the people native to these northern regions, this is a mix of curse and blessing. population levels are higher because of it and where there is opportunity for individuals to prosper, wealth and cultural variety is being added. But they are also seeing their native cultures destroyed as many cultures in poorer countries have been being destroyed by the influx of commodities and practices that did not originate in their parts of the world. Artists should now that diversity is not built on intermingling of cultures. Diversity is built when cultures are able to develop their own unique adaptations to change. Mix a bunch of colors on the palete or ground and you get broken dull versions of brown.
I only experience the American version of this. The US used to call itself "the great mixing pot" because people were welcomed from many parts of the world. They came it at rates that could easily be absorbed and adapted to, and the nation felt enriched. Many have been anxious about this new greater rate of influx, but ... whether for good or ill has yet to be seen.
In this image, the brown bear is a spirit of North America, the girl is the northern European originated majority. They sit in a snow-covered landscape as from the south, bird spirits of the descendants of the first big Americas immigration influx rise into the sky.
How it will all work out, we have yet to see.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination. 

As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience. 

He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it. 

Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them. 

Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is.  It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
