    Cool, let’s have my country, the US, return to unfettered immigration policies and bring back the policy that if you set foot on US soil, you’re made a citizen.

    Then let’s start importing people from these hellstates by the millions. Throw billions of dollars at it. Redirect anti-terrorism money to this sort of immigration instead.

    I mean this 100% unironically. Great for the world, great for humanity, and spectacular for the US

      I’d propose a modified version

      With allies and neutrals negotiate an immigration policy case by case to achieve a balance which best benefits both sides of the transit.

      With enemies, open the gates and make a point of how everyone who’s able to choose will at least be extremely tempted to choose the US.

      Even better since we’re in a day and age when America’s geopolitical enemies are already in demographic crises, adopting this policy would basically set up enemy nations for abject failure while solidifying America’s own demographic balance, and in an extended sense, that of America’s allies.

      Meanwhile we avoid brain draining potential allies like opening the flood gates with mexico would achieve.

        Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

      I happen to agree. Ideally I would open the floodgates little by little and turn the US into a nation of a billion. So many countries want to send us the best that they have. It’s freaken free money. Come here, bring your food, and work in our factories.
