I get your point about country, identity, and how immigration shapes nations. Immigration can change a country for better or worse, and most often it brings both benefits and problems. Take the USA as an example. It has clearly gained a lot from immigration. Even the early settlers were immigrants, and they helped build the country and expand its economy through continued immigration. But that history also came at a huge cost: Native peoples were displaced and killed, and enslaved people were brutally exploited. So the story is not purely positive. That is why I wonder: what country, and what period in history, do you feel you really belong to? I have mixed feelings about immigration myself, but I do not think it is as simple as choosing which immigrants you personally like and which you do not. Also, I cannot shake the feeling that I had this exact same discussion with another account a few years ago. It feels almost identical, just with a different username.
