Lots of people in 1960s US were bothered by schools being integrated. Perhaps even the majority in many southern states. Does that mean we should have pandered to them?

Just because some idiots think it's a problem, doesn't mean that we need to listen to them.

An indigenous self governing community implemented population per land limit. Under other framing many would applaud it and I don’t see an issue with this per se. Of course there’s a matter of western countries benefitting heavily from industrialisation which is leading to a climate catastrophe and upcoming brazillion of migrants.

You mean Switzerland? The one with all the secret bank accounts and Nazi gold?

Yeah, there's NO way that dark money from foreign sources could possibly affect the politicians, the media, and therefore the overton window in any underhanded ways!

Your insistence on giving the benefit of the doubt as to the motivations behind nakedly xenophobic policy based on a severe misunderstanding of pop science at best is not as commendable as you seem to think.
