First of all, nobody asked me. I feel excluded from decisions on this policy and you can see how this amplifies my hostility to it. Because even if we have a debate on mass immigration and I lose every argument, I'm still entitled to have my vote weighted. Is it my country or whose it is? By default I don't owe people of other countries anything. It's our common right to let them in; but it's also our common right to kindly ask them to stay outside. That's the basic outline, and I'll try and explain my unique reservations in another comment. UPD to the sibling comment: It's not that I have any obligations to not be a racist. Maybe I am. Maybe I am not. Maybe I'm racist on even days and not racist on odd. I my country I have rights to be whatever pleases me. On other hand, if you want me to not be a racist, or at least not act as racist, you have to tell me what's in it for me.
