      Better countries have proven they do not need to be the way they are. The EU Shengen area let the policies of the era of empires and kingdoms fall away while preseving a countries identity. The current US system can be described as “cruel by design” and needs to be removed and its facilitators barred from civil service.

        Yeah. I don’t agree with that. I think it’s quite reasonable that the country that now exists can have laws governing intake of people.

        What other options are there?

        I get the vibe. But give me one reasonable alternative.

          You act like the people that were here before didn’t have laws or society or ways of dealing with outsiders, and that’s pretty fucking gross of you
