Is immigration policy determined in New York or Los Angeles? No, it is determined in Washington DC. I wonder what you would think of anti- Korean or Chicano rioting in either of those cities? I especially wonder what you would think if the anti- immigrant factions started firebombing Korean grocers or engaging in sniper attacks in the barrio. Would you consider such behavior "perfectly natural"? Now, you can object that there is no sovereignty question, but there is no question that in some towns and cities, immigrants threaten to take over local politics, at least. Is this reason enough to riot, or to kill them? Wouldn't you consider it likely that an element of racism was involved? That is natural too. As for restricting immigration due to rioting, it seems to me that such rioting did not weigh in the balance against providing a means of escape from Nazi Europe. But that is not my most important objection. I have laid my main considerations out in a prior post.......
