Wouldn’t they benefit from more people? Of course it would come with the condition of learning the language at an acceptable level and that being tied to residency.

    Do you understand the difference between integration and immigration?

    Yes there is something wrong with not wanting to allow people from other cultures to integrate into your own.

          That’s a weak argument. Just because I bring up another point of view doesn’t mean I subscribe to the view mentioned, which I don’t.

          If a country doesn’t want to allow immigration then that’s perfectly moral. It may eventually kill their culture off in the long run but it’s not xenophobic by definition.

          If a country does allow immigration and then is prejudice towards a group coming in then absolutely that’s xenophobic.

            Backtrack if you want, but what you said was xenophobic by definition and I’m not going to bother arguing semantics.

            Edit: I like how you completely changed your comment after I replied. Very cool
