That's a nice strawman, but I'll ignore that and ask a follow up.. Do you think preserving culture is a bad thing? I do not want to live in global melting pot. I want to be able to travel to different parts of the world and experience different cultures and have my thoughts challenged. The good parts of nationalism preserve culture and create a good form of segregation which prevents homogenization. I'm not promoting intolerance here or lack of empathy for anyone outside your own culture.

Sacrificing function for morality is more immoral than closing or limiting immigration, especially if one of your criteria for determining morality is to limit suffering.
