>>>"No civilization/culture in all of recorded history has been able to stop/prevent migratory flows"

1) North Korea... nobody leaves.
2) Switzerland... only the rich get in.
3) Germany... those Jews who didn't emigrate were slaughtered.
4) Mexico... ever try to walk into that country illegally?
5) Any South American country... ditto.
6) New Zealand... has rational system and they stop illegals.

I'd have to say there are many countries throughout history that refute your claim.

Those were all poor examples - anybody can get into any of those countries (with the exception of NK) and work in whatever black market economy they may have. The best example is Japan; however, anyplace with contiguous landmass, forget it.

This statement is crap, not only do many other countries control their borders now and in the past as noted, the US has controlled it's immigration quite well in the past and could today.
Saying it is not possible, is nothing more than ignorance.
