Mbrock, I beg you to engage the argument. This is the debate we should be having. There can't be double standards. Either closing borders and kicking out immigrants "grievously violates the principles of democracy and freedom" [1] or they don't. Which is it?
[1] In which case the U.S. supports a State that "grievously violates the principles of democracy and freedom" and we should stop supporting them immediately.
