Nearly all laws are purely inventions designed towards a particular outcome. That doesn’t mean they’re nonsense, or that instituting the opposite of current laws would be “just as reasonable”. The system as it is does work. Could it work better? Sure. Perhaps we could actually strictly enforce immigration laws, and the result would be ideal. You can argue against the idea of community membership being predicated on more than just showing up, but simply calling it “xenophobia” isn’t an argument. Furthermore, when one side is doing everything possible to undermine the established laws, it’s not convincing when they point out the resulting reduced efficacy as if it were an inherent flaw instead of their own doing.
