IntroductionAs an immigrant to America, a voter of a nation-state and as a practicing Hindu, I observe no contradiction in these three identities.

Those on the right root for strong borders with strict immigration restrictions, deportation of illegals and the like. Those on the left root for open borders, free immigration, citizenship for illegals and the like.
