Overview

Nation states are in people's individual and collective interests. Nationalism is community. The few countries outside the West allowing immigration restrict it to their race or religion. If the West really believes all races are the same, we'd too want countries of our own. We'd only accept immigrants from countries accepting the same immigrants from us: bilateral immigration. Generous as we are, we might grant our friends refuge, but only as long as they need it. Beyond that, we'd do what countries outside the West do. We'd allow tourists, students, executives, and workers provided our citizens don't suffer, but not give them rights to reside beyond their jobs, studies, or holidays, pay them welfare or pensions, or subsidise their expenses. We'd not give them citizenship.
