Ok.

So everyone in the country, like my street, is in agreement. No-one will sell immigrants any property, nor hire them in employment, nor contract them if self-employed.

You can have an open border policy and still have zero immigration.

Of course the example is silly. The reason being that self-interest will predominate. If an immigrant offers me a silly price for 'X', I'll likely take it. Or, I simply like immigration. Or any other reason.

Thus nationalism is political in nature. Where an elite decide who/when/where/etc. These decisions if 'nationalistic' tend to be discriminatory based on race.

If you need doctors/nurses/teachers/etc, does it matter which culture/ethnicity they are, assuming that they are qualified and competent?

Does it matter that they wish to practice their religion/culture/other in [your] country?

jog on
