RE: The Immigration Conundrum

Is there a single restriction on immigration that doesn't have racism and xenophobia at it's core?

I don't have an answer. We're in a mess right now. Golden passports for millionaires. White refugees from South Africa. Tax-paying long-term residents snatched on the streets and disappeared.

On the other hand, I don't think open borders would work for us...as they didn't for the indigenous people who were here before Europe discovered this continent.

I don't know what the rules would be, and who would make them, but right now we're in a mess and the people in charge certainly would not be interested in making rules that were free of racism and xenophobia.
