Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's also, in pure abstract moral terms (which is also why, despite lots of idiots around scolding it, you'll take ancap only from my cold dead hands), that USA is not an ethnic state of some USian people. It even claims to be an international, open entity in its bloody constitution.
So I'm not sure that, speaking purely ethically and abstractly, USA even gets to limit immigration in any way (other than quotas to prevent crowds of third world peasants stomping it out ; but not too small ; maybe also other than keeping out those who can't explain how they are going to make their living there). Probably a homeless immigrant that doesn't have a job and doesn't speak English shouldn't be able to naturalize and get citizenship, but those who pass these three conditions - should and easily.
That or descendants of immigrants (which is almost all of the USA) going back to their countries of origin and freeing the territory for descendants of the native peoples.
That's, again, using ancap-like rigid morality.
But then in this particular case ancap rigid morality aligns with traditional marxist rigid morality perfectly. So basically in any consistent system of morality underpinning laws it seems that limiting immigration to such a nation is not the same as limiting guest access to your apartment.
Just in case - I live in Russia and I would with no doubt make the same rules for Russia, if it were up to me.
