No /s. America is supposed to be the land of the free, the land of opportunity. What happened to the American dream? Anti-immigration politicians killed it. There is not a single patriot in the world who opposes free immigration.
You know I don’t agree with you but that is a solid answer. The concept of controlled immigration is a fairly new concept. So take the upvote for having a real discussion.
When you oppose immigration from an economic standpoint, you're saying "my country isn't strong enough to hold all these refugees. I'm not going to share because I'm too weak." You think the Roman Empire felt that way? No, they were conquering countries left and right and turning foreigners culturally and economically into Romans. Because they believed Rome was strong. Politicians who oppose immigration are weak people who believe their country is weak. They are not patriots. The politicians saying "come on in, we have plenty to share, we're the best because we value and practice kindness", they're patriots.
I think immigration is key to success to a country and controlling immigrations helps define the country.
That said, I thing you put up a solid thesis as to why open immigration is showing the strength of your country.
