I'm not talking about immigration in an abstract way.

I'm talking about the daily experience of people living life.

in which case

if you're stupid you probably want to hang out with other stupid people

who look like you and have similar cultural assumptions.

And I'm not saying it's 100%

people come together all the time crossing cultural and racial boundaries.

But by and large

it's just *easier for everybody to live amongst people who are similar

True. I combine all my social assertions with localism - only a community has any right to make decisions about that particular community. How much immigration they allow, or with what criteria, is up to them. No one in Israel should be telling my town in Texas to accept refugees, or insert whatever locations. That's not because I don't want to help refugees - I actually do - but a foreigner telling my community anything is an act of war in my view, and I would absolutely respond to any such imposition with war, if I had such authority (which I don't want).
