1) So basically your explanation goes like that:
"Discrimination against immigrants is justified, because it's a law and other countries discriminate even worse than the US".
I hoped for somewhat better reasoning than that.
If you take "it's a law and it must stay unchanged" principle to the heart, then you would be dead by now killed as invader by one of American-Indian tribes.
2) "Opening borders to everyone" has very little to do with "Stopping discrimination against immigrants".
It's two-fold. On one hand, it's the law. On the other hand, I consider it a fair law. Pointing to other countries was simply to show that the US isn't alone in this thinking.
It has everything to do with opening the borders because if illegal immigrants have all the same rights as citizens then you're essentially inviting every immigrant to come to the US.
Of anyone, I would think you understand that our physical borders does not do a great job of preventing illegal immigrants from entering the country.
You seem to pick and choose your literal arguments from your theoretical ones.
