Right on I definitely agree with some of the things you are saying. I think the field of immigration studies or migration trends etc is truly fascinating. There so much more subtlety and nuance beneath the veneer of raw statistics. In fact, I think a great place to start is not necessarily a history course but rather a physical anthropology course (a breakthrough for me).
The best way to approach a broad topic such as this is to break it down into different parts. I really do believe that all too often, different issues get blurred and meshed causing a lot of confusion, misinformation etc.
