>If you say "the State is electing itself a new people"

You're the only one saying that, though.

The state does not create people out of whole cloth.

You can only see immigration as anti-democratic when you see new immigrants as somehow inherently different than the inhabitants. When you discard any notion that they could be equal partners in building better lives here.

They are different!

They are from another country and bring with them their own views, traditions and culture... They don't get mind-wiped when they land on US soil.
