Well that's the problem with nationalistic thinking. What does it matter where someone comes from? It matters what they do. Country borders are all completely fictional constructs. There is no reason why someone born in Mexico shouldn't be allowed to freely migrate to Texas while someone from Alaska can. Your place of birth is just happenstance and not something that informs your character or that you should be judged for.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
