There however are people in other countries who admire your country and its values and would want to become Americans, in truth, not just move there to make money and maybe exploit the system. Think of those people who moved from the communist countries and are now speaking up when they have seen their new home, America, fall dangerously close to becoming one?

There should be some way to for you to choose whatever talents you might need there from those people.

Also, when you look back in history, those countries that have become too insular have usually started to fail. Some level of exchange, not just trade, but also exchange of ideas, and yes, people, seems to be necessary for any culture to stay vigorous. Of course going overboard with that type of exchange, the way western countries have during the last decades, is really bad, but it seems wise to keep up at least some level of immigration. You just need to pick the ones allowed in more carefully.

The way you used to. Your country was doing pretty well back then, wasn't it?

And at least some of those people who now have joined Trump in the effort to save your country are either immigrants - Musk - or from immigrant families, like Kash Patel and Vivek Ramaswany.
