Except for Alaska Natives, Alaska has always been a place of/for "Outsiders" -Early on it was Russians coming for furs; or missionaries from everywhere coming to either" help" or  dominate Natives;  US-ers coming  to exploit  fisheries, whales, or for gold (that tole now being taken over by giant  international mining corporations); homesteaders taking advantage of "free" land that the US government had decided that it owned; scalawags fleeing law enforcement in "The Last Frontier"; Laborers, engineers, surveyors and blue-collar workers coming to build a pipeline; and most recently oilies and their lawyers, lobbyists, the tax-avoiding, exploiting  1%-ers and the PFD free-loaders  - If they - a  mix of rascals, entrepreneurs, loafers, creators and near-saints -  have found acceptance, tolerance  and opportunity here, I think we can handle a few more who seem to be of good will - maybe moreso than some of the nasty and bigoted complainers!
