America is already pretty anti-immigration
It has failed miserably, then. Of course, there were land law and exclusion acts enacted as legislation throughout history. Nonetheless, the USA's arrangement of basing citizenship on the principle of jus soli as opposed to jus sanguinis means its identity is a national/soil-based one and not an ethnic bloodline division, making it nominally inclusive. Hard nativism is a rather rare sentiment these days, too.
- tolmasky 11y agoIt has succeeded spectacularly. Have you tried to hire a foreigner as a startup? It is absurdly difficult and essentially creates dramatically unfair advantages for large corporations that can afford to streamline through the bureaucracy while startups cannot. Additionally, once the employee is sponsored by a company it is unfairly difficult for them to move in the job market, once again helping the large corporation at the expense of the worker.
