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.

    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
