US immigration policy is clearly not motivated by ethnic identity or "xenophobia". The 1965 immigration act and the visa lottery make that clear. But I sincerely ask: why would it be wrong to base immigration policy on such concerns? A nation should have the right to preserve its identity and make-up.

And it would probably end up hurting us, one way or another. (Irrelevant: yes, I think it would be "wrong". I consider discrimination to be a form of human rights violation. Not being a citizen doesn't mean you don't have rights. Or, it shouldn't. /idealism )
