actually, it is not. US immigration laws are very discriminatory based on age and education and on countries that may represent threats to US.

If you're born on US soil you're entitled to be American, regardless of where your parents come from, regardless of religion, regardless of whether you are blue or purple. It's not just immigration laws that are unamerican, its the idea that someone born and raised inside land occuppied by Israel has no chance to become Israeli, and thus gain equality. However, someone born in Argentina can become Israeli at the drop of a hat if their mother was a Jew. That policy is in direct contradiction to the idea that all men are created equal.

Arabs countries are hostile to Israel and there is nothing wrong in restricting immigration from hostile countries. Jews add to Israeli strength just the same way as educated people add to american strength.

I would argue that the discriminatory Israeli policy which prevents that Palestinians from gaining citizenship and equality in the land occupied by Israel harms Israel because it is the root cause of the Arabs' hostility.

I posted two solutions a long time ago to solve the Israel-Palestine situation. Let me describe them briefly and see what ya think.

Solution 1 - The lands of Israel and Palestine are united into one country with the citizens being the Palestinian refugees and the present day Israeli citiens, with one man getting one vote. A separation of church and state law is probably a good idea, but that's in the details.

Solution 2 - Israel remains a "Jewish homeland" but gives up control of all of Jerusalem in exchange for peace with the Arabs. The basic idea here is that if the Israelis refuse to grant equality to the Palestinian refugees that they have created over the past 50 years and live together in an equal system which is blind to religion and race, they can have their ethnicly biased "homeland" but not in a location that has the 3rd most holy site in Islam.

Methinks solution 1 is the best as probably neither side would accept solution 2.
