Its still going to be a country of immigrants with a VERY diverse population, we'll still take more immigrants than any other country (regardless of population percentage spin) and we'll still give money to native Americans because they weren't destroyed ("destroy" would mean they don't exist).
Its not an Islam ban, plenty of Islamic countries were excluded. European countries are closer to Islamic countries, so naturally those countries will have a higher percentage of muslims. With that said, who has more Mexicans than the US? European countries are vastly more white than the US.
From my understanding the ban is just temporary as they figure out a better vetting process. So we'll have to wait and see how that goes. But again, if this was really about stopping muslims from coming in then there would be a lot more countries banned.

Yes, fixed number is huge yes on immigrants to the USA. But to be hones the best way to see if your population is diverse in Ethnic and culture you need to see it in percentage compared to the native population(which is hard in the USA ). In the USA most of the immigrants will come from South America. And remember that most white USA people are immigrants from Europe or from Israel! (as there were no white people in America before 1492. (maybe a few Vikings who couldn't go back to their own country) because how diverse is USA in reality. How much more foreigners are you seeing when you go to do your shopping? Absolute numbers doesn't say anything if the total population number is huge. For example: In the US there are around 158k Syrians (some born in the US some are refugees and some are just economical immigrants) USA has around 325M people. How often will you meet one of the 158k Syrians in the US in reality? (yes only in the larger cities once in a while) In the Netherlands there are approx 64k Syrians and in total there are +/- 17M people living in this small country! You see? So that's why the % is a better way of seeing it!! Ofcourse Syria is in closer to our borders it's obvious Syrians will come first to Europe countries. But absolute numbers don't mean anything if you compare it to the total population! If a country only has 50 people and there are suddenly 20 immigrants from different countries this is a very diverse population!
As you mentioned correctly outside Mexico, the USA has most Mexicans of the world. How would you define White People? I know in the USA they use for example Caucasian or Hispanic when you have to fill in the form for the border. But in reality the Hispanic are descents from people from Spain and Portugal so they are Caucasian. I think Caucasian is not even relevant, because between Caucasian Descents there are so many differences. Is someone from Spain in your eyes white? Is someone from Turkey white? Or from Italy or Greece?

In the US I find statistics tend to lump groups together. Sometimes its just white (includes hispanic and latino), black, other. Sometimes they seperate white, hispanic, latinos, so that varies. But non-latino/hispanic whites are almost always lumped together, plain ol' caucasians are just one group.
While the US is still predominately white (not hispanic or latino white), our population isn't as predominately white as many other western countries. Because of our large black, hispanic/latino, and various ethnic immigrant population we're a melting pot like no other.
