not to be compared with another union of nations — the United KingdomS. In both examples there is almost certainly the same cultural separation and even linquistic problems as demonstrated by subtitles used for certain Scottish produced TV! We can even extend that to Geordies, Scousers, etc! Although I found your article very interesting i also found it very apologetic for the circumstances of your birth or any first world birth and you insinuated we should feel a responsibility for those with less advantages.
The U.S.’ immigration laws of inequality
That view came of as sounding a bit elitist. Your writing also tended to focus mostly on the economic advantages of immigration. One of the reasons that the far-right is growing in Europe is because of this very reason. There is little regard to the watering down of native culture, the fact that tribalism is alive and well and there is growing racial strife-all byproducts of open immigration. Europe need only look overseas to America and see what hundred years of multiculturalism has created. It was once thought that Internationalism would end nationalism, wen in truth the exact opposite is happening and not only in Europe.

Open immigration also robes poorer nations of their finest most hard working citizens, who might just be better served working to build their nation so those special advantages of being born in a first wold nation disappear. So, economists have proven that free trade agreements between rich and poor countries will not result in industries moving form the rich to the poor countries. They have proven that deregulating the financial markets will not make the economy more unstable.
They have proven that letting industries form large monopolies does not harm the public interest. And now they have proven that government policies aimed at flooding the labor market and increasing the competition for jobs does not make wages go down, it makes them go higher. Surely only a racist could disagree with this.
