    You said it “Would destroy their countries”, not “Has destroyed their countries”

    Really rather sounds like you would just prefer to reduce immigration.

        Sorry, I’m an American, I don’t go in for that kind of anti-immigration talk.

        “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
        With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
        Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
        The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
        Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
        I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

          I wish that this was still a valued part of our culture. Seems like more and more people are against what built this country, and want to restrict immigration.

        Freedom of movement is an important leftist ideal. If I invite someone into my home, sell them property, or offer them a job, the state should have no say in that.

            It’s universal among anarchists, to the point of being a litmus test. I had assumed it would be popular among other leftist factions as well, but I don’t have any numbers or anything. Pretty sure it’s more popular among left-liberals than moderate liberals as well, so that would point to it being more of a leftist ideal.
